The charm and exoticism of the eastern part of Indonesia, including natural panoramas, cultural customs, and flora and fauna is truly stunning. Even this area is dubbed as a piece of heaven on earth. The predicate does not seem excessive, because Papua has extraordinary uniqueness, one of which is the Bird of Paradise.

Cendrawasih is a bird that holds the status as a "Bird of Paradise" or a bird from heaven because of its beauty which is likened to descending from heaven,
Birds of Paradise are a group of birds belonging to the Paradisaeidae family and the Passeriformes order. This bird species can be found on the island of Papua, the Maluku islands, the Torres Strait islands, Papua New Guinea to eastern Australia.

More specifically, Cendrawasih from the Paradisaeidae family is unique, in that the male bird has long feathers and grassy patterns that grow on its wings, head and beak.

Meanwhile, the famous bird of paradise, for example, is the large bird of paradise (Paradisaea apoda). This bird was traded by the indigenous people of Papua to the Eripa people by removing their wings and legs so they could be used as decoration. It is from this treat that this species has the scientific name "apoda" or without legs.
