The courtship display of male King-of-Saxony birds-of-paradise has two general parts. First, near dawn or in late afternoon, the male attracts a female by singing a hissing rattle while sitting on a bare branch in the canopy. He accompanies his song with synchronous or independent movements of his occipital plumes; the mantle cape and breast shield are also often held erect.
However, if you have chosen an art print stretched on a frame, then the process of printing and framing will take about 7-8 days. The default condition of our giclée prints is unstretched and unframed. You will be able to stretch and frame your artwork in your local frame-shop.

Lexicographical data
When a female arrives, he flies down to vines in the understory, usually 2 or more meters from the forest floor. When approaching the female for copulation, the male wags his head from side to side while hopping up the vine. After copulation, the female leaves, and the male returns to his perch to attract another female. TOPofART are specialized in hand-painted art reproductions with oil paints on canvas as well as with Giclée prints on canvas and art paper.
Females convey interest or disinterest during displays using body posture as well. Moulted head-plumes in good condition are sought by male Archbold’s bowerbirds for use as decorations, and in turn collected from the courtship bowers by humans. Males are also hunted for their highly prized long plumes used by natives for ceremonial decoration, but despite this the species remains fairly common in parts of its range.
However, these subspecies descriptions are not universally accepted.

If the female likes what she sees, she will invite the males to the understory of the forest where the courtship continues. Here, the male perches on a vine, connected to, but below the female and proceeds to rhythmically bounce up and down, which in turn, causes her vine to vibrate. If she continues to be interested in the male, he will hop up next to her, erecting his mantle cape and breast shield and wagging his head from side to side to get his head wires to swirl about the female. These behaviors are most common between July and February, but can occur at other times of the year as well.
