I remember seeing something about this bird on a nature doc.
I thought it was cool that those birds do that. And it is a very nice shade of blue

It's so interesting how they're drawn to that particular shade! I think I've also seen them on the nature channel before, except it was another species of Bowerbird from the desert that worked together to build humongous, mansion like nests that could house hundreds of birds.

That's really neat. I love animal behavior quirks like that <3 Thank you for sharing.

You scientist, you! It would certainly be interesting to know what makes Bowerbirds tick and how they organize their nest to have such an artsy flair.

I like how with bird species like these, the men are super colorful to attract the females, who need to blend in so as to protect the eggs!

They're very pretty, aren't they? I think peacocks are another example of this... very colorful!
