Description
Bowerbird
There are about 12 species of Bowerbird found around Australia, with the most common being the Great Bowerbird (Chlamydera nuchalis), the Satin Bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchus violaceus) and the Spotted Bowerbird (Chlamydera maculata). They are often brightly coloured, and have an unusual mating ritual where the male decorates his nest with brightly coloured objects to attract the female. Later I will show the Male Satin Bowerbird, I also have to careful about what objects I leave on the porch table they have a habit of disappearing.
