The Arfak astrapia is a species of astrapia, a group of birds found in the Paradiseidae family of the birds-of-paradise. In the wild, the bird has hybridised with the black sicklebill creating offspring that were once considered a distinct species, the Elliot’s sicklebill “Epimachus ellioti”. While some ornithologists still believe that this bird is a distinct species, possibly critically endangered or even extinct, many now think it was a hybrid between the two species. We specialize in giclée art prints on canvas and fine art paper with museum quality. We also offer framing of the ordered prints and worldwide delivery. Your Astrapia Nigra Paper Print is individually hand-made, using sophisticated digital technology.
If, however, you have decided to take a framed art print, then the process of printing and framing will take around 6 or 7 days. The habits of the Arfak astrapia are very little known. The birds are found mostly in cloud forests at 1,700 to 2,250 m at the apex of the Arfak Mountains. Foraging habits observed include the birds probing fruits, mostly pandanus fruits, off of moss and epiphytes in the montane canopy. Breeding habits mostly unknown; female definitely builds the nests and tend the chicks, as with most other birds-of-paradise, though the exact rearing period is unknown.
The female is less appealing, being dark brown over most of its body and a blackish head, and sporting much shorter tail feathers. The female is also exceptionally shorter than the male. We operate with the best fine art paper of fine texture, thus guaranteeing clarity and precision of the details.
