Birds of Paradise B&B, Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal, SOUTH AFRICA

First i thought it was feathers, but if you look better, you'll see that those feathers are in fact..parrots! Look well, they have the heads near the hands of the papuan woman!

They use them as decorations on the giant headwear they wear in the highlands. The parrots are mixed with some incredible birds of paradise feathers too.

“Armed carjackings, assaults, robbery, shootings and serious sexual offences, including rape, are common in Papua” says the Foreign Office travel advice to travelers!

The papua tourism office has a hard work convincing more people like me to come to PNG!

Once a year takes place in Mount Hagen the biggest tribal meeting, called a singsing.

The “Men bilong pait” (the Warriors) ,the” pipels” (the women), and the “pikinini” (the children) are all here. Hundreds of papus are preparing themselves for the Singsing. It’s in open air, but you feel like being backstage in the latest fashion show in Milano or Paris as men paint their faces in red,yellow,white,black, women take grass to make skirts or kilts and cover their bodies with clay, mud, or even pigs fat!

Old wise men are building the giant headdresses made of eagle, parrot and bird of paradise feathers. Each feather is packed in newspaper, to protect them from insects. It will take hours…

Some warriors wear also marsupial jaws as necklaces! “If you do not have jaws, you can put dogs teeth, it works too” they tell me!

Bones, shells, pigs tusks, or twigs are put in the noses. I meet a Highlands warrior who has gave up the traditional shell that he used to put in his nose, and now uses an electrical meter!

Papu like to put a modern touch in their jewels or decorations, as we like to put some tribal stuff in our so called designed houses!

 

Now it’s time for parade. All the tribes are marching. It’s a mix of sounds and sights, not a love parade, rather a war parade!

The Mount Hagen festival was launched by the Australian colonial governor in 1964, to promote peace in the country.So…The warriors simulate fights! But the stone axes, the arrows, the shields, the spears, the bludgeons are real! There won’t be any violence during the festival, but everyday, tribal fights still take place, with guns instead of axes, and people die…

You can hear war songs, drums, and the tribes start to march in circle, in column, or in line .

The tribes keep on dancing until sundown, and have to listen to an endless speech from a local political while the few tourists go back to their hotels, stoned by the loudspeakers noise!

I made this photo of a mature bird of paradise flower behind a flower yet to emerge in al its splendor. Melody and I have several of these plants in the backyard of our San Francisco home, making it difficult to get two flowers isolated in a photo like this. I shot this in late mid-afternoon in early May 2021 while we were still under Covid-19 restrictions. As usual, I used my Canon Powershot SX50.

Rufous Chinned Laughing thrush-

This mid-sized laughingthrush is found along the Himalayas and can be identified by the combination of the black cap and band on the brown tail. The underparts are greyish while the upperparts have scale like feather patterning. A distinctive pale loreal patch of buff colour and a broad dark moustachial stripe which borders the rufous chin and ear coverts are identifying features.

A Bird of Paradise in full bloom—a living flame, forged in color and light. Its petals burn with a smooth gradient—

magenta to lime green to electric orange. A flower sculpted in neon and velvet shadow—bold, surreal...

unmistakably alive.

Laggar falcon (Falco jugger)

 

A large, slender falcon with long wings that nearly reach its tail tip when perched. It has a rusty crown above a thin white brow that can connect to its pale forecrown, above a bold dark eye-stripe that extends to the nape. The moustachial stripe sometimes seems to have a break at the gape line. Upperparts mostly brown; white underparts can be streaked at the breast and solid brown at the thighs. A species of open, arid country that preys mainly on birds.
