Cendrawasih yang tidak Bahagia >> Edisi Indonesia Folklore from Papua Mr. and Mrs. Brown Bird lived in a jungle in Papua. Mr. Brown always complains about his feathers. He thought they were ugly. He was jealous of his friend, Mr. Green Bird. "I want to have beautiful feathers like Mr. Green Bird. His feathers are not brown like mine. They are very beautiful," said Mr. Brown Bird to his wife. "Honey, you have to be grateful for your feathers. With feathers like this, humans are not interested in us. So they will not hunt us," said Mrs. Brown Bird. Mr. Brown Bird then went to the God of the Jungle. "I want to have beautiful feathers like Mr. Green Bird's feathers," said Mr. Brown Bird. "Don't worry. I can make your wish come true. Just choose one color." "Hmm, I don't know. How about red? Yellow? Green? I'm confused." The God of the jungle was upset. "Choose now!" Mr. Brown Bird then looked up to the sky. He had an idea. "Aha! I know which color to choose. I don't want one color for my feathers. I want many colors. I want my feathers to be colorful like the rainbow in the sky." Not long after that, Mr. Brown Bird's feathers were colorful. When he went home, his wife did not recognize him. "Honey, it's me. I'm your husband." "No, my husband is not like you! His feathers are brown!" said Mrs. Brown Bird. Mr. Brown Bird tried very hard to convince his wife that he was really her husband. "You are very stupid, my husband. With colors like these, humans will hunt you. What if they also take our children? Now, please go away! Our lives are in danger if you are still here," said Mrs. Brown Bird. She was crying. Mr. Brown Bird was very sad. He knew he had just made a very big mistake. He then left his house. His name then changed to Cendrawasih. It means the bird of paradise. *** --------------------------------------@@@------------------------------------ Did you know? Cendrawasih Cendrawasih or the birds-of-paradise are members of the family Paradisaeidae of the order Passeriformes. The majority of species in this family are found on the island of New Guinea and its satellites, with a few species occurring in the Moluccas and eastern Australia. The family has forty species in 14 genera. The members of this family are perhaps best known for the plumage of the males of most species, in particular highly elongated and elaborate feathers extending from the beak, wings, tail or head. For the most part they are confined to dense rainforest habitat. The diet of all species is dominated by fruit and to a lesser extent arthropods. The birds-of-paradise have a variety of breeding systems, ranging from monogamy to lek-based polygamy. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird-of-paradise) Please Read More Stories!

This limited edition, archival signed print of an original acrylic painting, titled "Tumpara Longfoot", portrays a primate known as the Siau Island tarsier. These tiny creatures are critically endangered, primarily due to habitat loss and human interference, with their entire population limited to only one tiny Indonesian island. This tarsier is wearing a robe of fabric that bears a pattern indigenous to its region, and hold a traditional amulet that is considered a sign of status. Though depicted here in the daylight, these primates are nocturnal, thus their extremely large eyes. "Tumpara" is the indigenous name for this primate, and "Longfoot" refers to the elongated tarsus bones in their feet, which the name "tarsier" derives from. • 8” x 10” exterior paper dimension, 7 ¾” x 9 3/4” image size • high quality archival inks • Epson Enhanced Matte Paper (acid free) • Signed and numbered by the artist Keep this print out of direct sunlight for long life and color durability!
