Why it matters
The Glossy-mantled Manucode is a fascinating member of the bird-of-paradise family, notable for its monochromatic black plumage and unique, iridescent green and purple sheen. Unlike many of its more flamboyant relatives, this species is monogamous and has evolved a broad wing shape and pointed tail that contribute to a distinct, undulating flight pattern across the lowland forests of New Guinea.
