The Weaverbird and the Flower of Paradise

If seen, he seems a feathered thief come to steal a feed; but for the flower, this is chiefly service for its breeding.

Ahhh!!! I had heard of the weaverbird but did not know of their relationship with the Bird of Paradise flower. Both species are beautiful. Thanks for sharing the information with us. Sara K

From what I was reading, the only pollinator, with the flower providing a perfect blue petal step to stand on to sip the nectar. Beauty in symbiosis. Thanks for reading:)
