The male Japanese Paradise Flycatcher here is relatively cooperative with chick-rearing, bringing food to the chicks at about the same frequency as the female. Normally the male's main job is keeping predators away while the female handles most of the food delivery.

The female Japanese Paradise Flycatcher tends to perch on branches deeper in the foliage, making her difficult to photograph.

The long tail feathers are hidden, but the green background is beautiful and this ended up being a surprisingly favourite shot. ^^
