Title: Birds of Paradise, 1975-1976 [Go to resource]
Description: The bird on the lid is perhaps intened to be a Red Bird of Paradise (Paradisaea rubra), though there are several similar species. Male birds of paradise, known for their bizarre mating rituals, gather in groups of two to ten birds called 'leks' where they attract mates by performing elaborate dances and displaying their bright plumage. Each species of bird of paradise has its own type of display dance. They are an obvious subject for a designer who wants a brilliant, eye-catching image.
