The most famous Cenderawasih bird is a member of the Paradisaea genus, including its type species, the large yellow-Cenderawasih, Paradisaea apoda. This type is described from specimens brought to Europe from trade expeditions. This specimen was prepared by native traders by removing their wings and legs so that they could be used as decorations.
