Wow, I have never seen anything like it. Most of it are blue bottle tops.That is so cool, you MUST give us updates of what is happening every day. I would love to see what happens next.
I've not seen anything like that before either. It definitely loves the colour blue, doesn't it? I've seen a couple of these birds here but don't know where they are nesting.
Thanks for all the nice comments. This is his 6th bower in and around our house and my first photos. This is actually not a nest, but his performing arena. Built a hide ,hope to add more photos soon.
How very cool to have a Satin Bowerbird in your own backyard!
I've seen them all around up at the Bunyas, with blue stuff including picnic plates and cutlery, pens, bottle tops etc, but probably not as good as the one you have there.
Satin bowerbird moved into my backyard!
See it! Hear it!

Keep us posted and set up a hide so you can get some really cool close up shots

How cool is that Darin! Good to know the nest is safe in your yard.
Cheers, Owen.
That's fantastic. I've never see a photo of a bower with so many blue objects. He should be able to attract a really good woman
