Genus | Manucodia |
Manucodia or manucode, is a genus of medium-sized birds-of-paradise with black-glossed purple and green plumages.
The members of this genus are distributed in the lowland forests of New Guinea and nearby islands. They are monogamous and sexually monomorphic, in contrast to most birds-of-paradise.
The name Manucodia is derived from Javanese "manuk dewata"; "manuk" means bird and "dewata" means gods.
