Crested satinbird

The crested satinbird (Cnemophilus macgregorii), formerly known as the crested bird-of-paradise, is a member of the satinbird family Cnemophilidae and is native to Papua New Guinea's mountains. It was first described in 1890 by Charles Walter De Vis, who named it after William MacGregor, the British colonial governor of New Guinea.

Two subspecies are recognized: C. m. sanguineus (red satinbird) from central west and east New Guinea, and C. m. macgregorii (yellow satinbird) from southeastern New Guinea. The male nominate subspecies has yellow upperparts with a concealed crest, while the female is olive-brown above and lighter below. The adult male of the red subspecies has red dorsal plumage.

These birds inhabit upper montane and subalpine forests. They primarily consume fruits, eating them whole without manipulation. Breeding occurs from August to January, with nests built 2-4 meters above ground by females, typically containing a single egg that incubates for at least 19 days. Their calls include harsh rasping sounds and low hissing.
