  • Story of the image

    Male Satin bowerbirds (like the bird on the left in this photo) build specialised stick structures, called bowers, and they decorate the area with blue and sometimes yellow objects. These objects may be natural, but in urban settings are more often plastic. Females (like the other bird in this photo) visit these bowers, and when they do so the males perform a display, picking up one of the blue objects and striking dramatic poses.
