abstract
  • The Eastern parotia (Parotia helenae), is also known as Helena's parotia. Approximately 27 cm long, it is a species of medium-sized bird-of-paradise of the Paradisaeidae family. The Eastern Parotia is distributed and endemic to mountain forests of southeast Papua New Guinea. The scientific name honors Princess Helena Augusta Victoria, the third daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. As with other species of Parotia, the male is polygamous and performs spectacular courtship display in the forest ground. The clutch contains 1, maybe occasionally 2 eggs; one that was studied was 38.4 x 27.8 mm in size (Mackay 1990). It eats mainly fruit, seeds and arthropods. A common species throughout its limited range, the eastern parotia is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES.
