The species is similar to the western parotia (Parotia sefilata). The bird's home was discovered by Carl Hunstein on a mountain near Port Moresby in 1884.

abstract
  • The Lawes's parotia (Parotia lawesii), is a species of medium-sized (up to 27 cm long) bird-of-paradise of the Paradisaeidae family. It is distributed and endemic to mountain forests of southeast and eastern Papua New Guinea. Occasionally, the eastern parotia (Parotia helenae) is considered a subspecies of Parotia lawesii. The species is similar to the western parotia (Parotia sefilata). Like most birds-of-paradise, male Lawes's parotia are polygamous. The clutch contains 1, maybe occasionally 2 eggs; the few eggs that have been studied were about 33 x 24 mm in size, but these were possibly small specimens. It eats mainly fruit, seeds and arthropods. The bird's home was discovered by Carl Hunstein on a mountain near Port Moresby in 1884. Its name honors the New Guinea pioneer missionary Reverend William George Lawes. Widespread and common throughout its range, Lawes's parotia is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES.
