Bowerbird in Its Woodland Display Area
A fascinating bowerbird stands on the ground beside a tunnel-like shelter constructed from upright twigs. Scattered neatly near the entrance is a curated collection of smooth seashells collected by the bird.
Remarkable Facts About Bowerbirds
Male bowerbirds are famous for building complex avenues of sticks called bowers solely to attract potential mates. They spend days decorating the display ground in front of their structure with brightly colored objects, arranging items by color and size. Some species of bowerbirds prefer blue items, while others choose shiny shells, shiny pebbles, or bleached bones.
