Description
We called it the "Angel bird" because it was first discovered by Alfred Russel Wallace on Bacan Island, North Moluccas, in 1858. Wallace called it a bird of paradise due to the beauty of this bird. It was then written in a report and sent to England. A year later, his report became one of the ornithology study materials in the UK.
This bird was then specified within the family of Paradisaeidae, with genus and species names Semioptera Wallacii. This name was an appreciation of Wallace, a British naturalist who lived from 1823 - 1913.
Bahasa Indonesia
Kami menyebutnya “Burung Malaikat” karena pertama kali ditemukan oleh Alfred Russel Wallace di Pulau Bacan, Maluku Utara, pada tahun 1858. Wallace menyebutnya sebagai burung cendrawasih karena keindahan burung ini. Itu kemudian ditulis dalam laporan dan dikirim ke Inggris. Setahun kemudian, laporannya menjadi salah satu bahan kajian ornitologi di Inggris.
Burung ini kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam famili Paradisaeidae, dengan nama genus dan spesies Semioptera Wallacii. Nama ini merupakan apresiasi dari Wallace, seorang naturalis asal Inggris yang hidup pada tahun 1823 – 1913.
