Male bird plumage is the perfect fusion of function and style. I say it is conclusive evidence of godly Creation, sentient beings untroubled with the need for clothing, yet there they do go - arrayed in most compelling magnificence. We human designers must conclude our looking upon them with a humble moment, all fields of glory leveled.

I have seen a bird of paradise courtship dance and mating high in the trees above me in Indonesia, and I am fortunate that no choices must be made as to which of my bird sightings I cherish most.
