Juvenile satin bowerbird

I don't know if these count as proper bird shots, because I'm raising him/her and he was asking for his dinner. But he's a beautiful little bird, and I love the crazy hairdo. So without further ado, this is Skwark the bowerbird.


Taken a couple of weeks ago


Most recent shot.

Very cute Lyrika... how did you come to be raising him?

I'm a wildlife carer. He was actually called in as a wattlebird by the vet... I picked him up and went 'This is no wattlebird!' He'll be moving on to his release home soon, we have a lovely spot picked out for him.

How can you miss those brilliant deep blue eyes and assume it is a wattlebird...
So cute, especially that tuft of downy stuff on his head. Hope he grows up strong after release. That hairdo's sure to get the girls, when he dyes it electric blue - he'll need no bower.
