In the rain-drenched canopies of New Guinea and nearby islands, these emerald-and-purple jewels drift silently between fruiting trees. They feed almost entirely on ripe figs and soft berries, swallowing them whole with unhurried precision high above the forest floor. What makes them extraordinary is their quiet power as forest regenerators — carrying seeds across valleys and ridges, they help rebuild rainforests where few other animals travel. A vision of color in stillness, yet an essential architect of island canopies.
