Flame Bowerbird, A Stunning Bird With Crimson And Vibrant Orange Plumage

The flame bowerbird (Sericulus ardens) is such an outstanding bird. Put on a gorgeous coat of crimson and vibrant orange, these bowerbirds become conspicuous whenever they are. These amazing creatures have a crimson head and neck. Meanwhile, their back and belly are colored with vibrant orange. Some black feathers on the wings and tail also make this bird stand out from the crowd.

The flame bowerbirds are two different subspecies, sometimes considered full species: Sericulus aureus ardens (flame bowerbird), from south-western New Guinea, with orange-faced male -Sericulus aureus (masked bowerbird), the nominate form of north-western New Guinea, with the black-faced and black-throated male.
