This bird is a Friend of the Passeriformes, family Caprifoliidae, genus Caprifoli. Its black cape is accented with a pattern resembling the male's characteristic blue ornamental feathers. Under the cape, it also wears a black vertically striped sweater and black pants, creating a predominantly black theme. Since the bird it was based on dances to court females, this friend is also good at dancing. Although it views the Crimson Bird of Paradise, which it travels with, as a rival, it seems to find great joy in dancing together.
