Today's mystery bird for you to identify

How many bird species from Papua New Guinea can you identify in this woman's traditional costume?

Question: This is a departure from what I usually do with the daily mystery bird. I am thrilled to share this image of a young woman from Papua New Guinea -- a place I've been fascinated by ever since I was a child. As you can see, she is wearing a spectacular traditional costume, consisting of a dozen or more native bird species or their feathers. For example, I can see eight species of birds of paradise and several parrot species in this young woman's headdress and body decorations without studying this image carefully. I am sure there are more. How many bird species can you identify? (Seriously, you can name them, no puns, anagrams or other cryptic clues necessary, and I'll compile all the species in the demystification that publishes in 48 hours.)
