An unusual collection of litter or a bowerbird with limited options. Probably my next dog walk to the Reserve will tell.

Just spotted a #BowerBird flying by with a blue bottle lid 💙
A friend of mine described a bird she had seen on a recent camping trip & it sounded like a female Satin Bowerbird to me, a 'greenish bird with brown markings like tiles on its chest' 😄 #birdart #artprints #birdlife #bowerbird #australia

A bower built by a male bowerbird, located on the ground in a shaded garden area. The bower consists of two parallel walls of upright sticks, forming an avenue. Scattered around the structure are numerous bright blue objects, including plastic bottle caps and straws, which the bird has collected to attract a mate. Surrounding the bower are green plants, trees, and grass, with dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage.
The Bower birds have been busy this year. :-) #bowerbird #bluefetish #NSW #photography #nature

A clever character the #bowerbird. It has to perform quite a few impressive tricks to be able to win a mate ...

Satin bowerbird bower with blue decorations
We have a satin bowerbird living in our backyard (or, more accurately, we live in his). We call him David Bowie.

A Great Bowerbird perched on a fence facing forward but looking behind itself. Part of its bright pink crest can be seen on the back of its nape.
Great Bowerbirds (Ptilonorhyncus nuchalis) are native to northern Australia and have a gorgeous bright pink crest that can be raised and lowered. This one lives in the backyard of my mother-in-law in Mareeba, QLD #bird #birds #birdsofaustralia #bowerbird #greatbowerbird #birdphotography

My analysis companion is the #Bowerbird, hopping around picking up the blue shiny things and curating them into something new.
Here the Male Satin Bowerbird is holding up a yellow petal in a striking pose in front of his bower. I believe that he is practising a display that he will employ when a female comes.

This is a male Satin Bowerbird constructing his bower, a stick structure used for courting. He has also decorated the area with blue and yellow objects. Females visit these bowers and choose which male to mate with.

A red bowerbird Harpy stands with one leg out, black tail fanned. He waves one wing in a courtship dance while holding a sprig of white flowers. Surrounding him is a nest of branches filled with blue and white flowers and blue berries.

Meet the #bowerbird, named for the intricate structures they design and build, called "bowers".
These avian artists have a keen eye for colour + are masters of interior design, spending hours crafting elaborate bachelor pads to woo potential mates. #sentient #birds
