Possibly the most unusual taxon at Zoo Berlin as a whole, this single individual belonging to the Birds-of-Paradise is the only representative of its species in captivity anywhere in the world.

I'm actually a little surprised you have not visited Zoo Berlin in order to see this species - along with the many other interesting bird taxa held there and at Tierpark Berlin!
Still, you have likely seen many, many more Bird of Paradise than me so it balances out.
Get there as soon as you can; the new director is cutting both collections down significantly, and I believe one of the things he plans to "deal with" is the existence of both a Fasanerie and Bird House at Zoo Berlin......
