Obsessed by shiny objects, the bowerbird (Atlaskløvhyttefugl, - Ptilonorhynchus violaceus) builds complex nests decorated with colorful and shiny objects to attract the female. However, after the courtship the female has to build the real nest herself with absolutely no help from the male.

@Seagoon_ #whimsy #nonsense 🤪

For historical reasons unimportant here, i have a large number of cheap cotton face-washers in various colours. Prior to today, eight of these were sky-blue coloured. Today however, there's only five that i can find [of that colour]. I am getting so fed up with that blasted backyard #bunyip coming in at night whilst i sleep & helping herself to my linen cupboard. She's only got one warning left now, after which i feed her to the #yowie. I might even give her a bit of light fanging myself on the way thru, just to be going on with. Honestly, tis just beyond the pale; you'd think we mythical creatures would stick together, ffs! What is she, channelling her inner #bowerbird or something? 🤷‍♀️

Birdwatching changes the way you look at the world – it truly is the gateway drug to environmental awareness

More than simple pleasure and ticking a species off a list, it’s a hobby that dwells on the joy of being alive

@afoolandhisfuji Here is a structure made by the bower bird to attract a mate. This particular species likes the colour white, so he’s gathered up bits and pieces to decorate the entranceway. #ArgyleHomestead #OrdRiver #LakeKununurra #WesternAustralia #BowerBird #birds
