Twelve-wired Paradise Bird Page

A male Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise stands upright on a display branch with his long, wire-like ornaments clearly visible while the female approaches from below. Colour the male's body glossy black and deep brown, then make his bright chest shield yellow or golden. The female can use softer brown, cream and olive patterns. Add green rainforest leaves and a warm brown branch with a few simple vines. Begin by tracing and colouring around every long ornamental wire so none disappear, then fill the larger bird shapes and background plants with smooth, tidy colour.
