Here’s another of the great birds to be found in Lamington National Park in Queensland, Australia. Male bowerbirds, like this regent bowerbird, are known for making elaborate “bowers” to lure in females. They make these shady little structures out of whatever they can find — twigs, rocks, and any brightly colored objects they happen to stumble upon.

——- He is the master of this
——- Redoubt wears a striking
——- Pachyderm cloak to ask
——- Can it still be so uncertain
——- Who is the elephant behind
——- The curtain.

This bird is SO stunning that I think I would, as a female, be attracted to it!
I’ve got to see one of these some day.
