The animal on the cover of Programming the iPhone User Experience is a six-shafted bird of paradise (Parotia sefilata), also known as a Western Parotia or six-wired bird of paradise. The male of this species is 13 inches long with a short bill and black iridescent plumage that varies between bronze, green, and purple. It has golden feathers on its breast and silver feathers on its crown. From behind each eye spring the head wires--each six inches long with a small oval tip--that give the bird its name. On the sides of its breast are black plumes that, when elongated, make the bird appear to be double its real size. As with most birds of paradise, the female is brown and unadorned.

Native to Indonesia, the six-shafted bird of paradise inhabits the mountain forests of Western New Guinea, living on a diet of fruits and figs. During courtship, the male performs an elaborate dance by shaking its head with its black plumes elongated to show off its adornment. This bird is common throughout its range and is not considered a threatened species.
