Regent Bowerbird
Bowerbirds are members of the Ptilonorhynchidae family. They’re known for their peculiar courtship behavior, which involves males constructing a building and decorating it with sticks and brightly colored things in order to attract a mate. There are 27 species in the family, divided into eight genera. With 10 species indigenous to New Guinea, eight are endemic to Australia, and two species occurring in both, the bowerbirds have an Austro-Papuan range.
The next bird on our list is the regent bowerbird, a medium-sized, up to 25 cm long, sexually dimorphic bowerbird. The male bird is black with a golden orange-yellow crown, mantle and black-tipped wing feathers, while the females are light brown with scalloping on the breast and back. It has yellow bill, black feet and yellow iris.
