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

Hi Lyrika, what a cutie and I love the hairdo as well. Great photos!
aww Adorable!
Very cute Lyrika... how did you come to be raising him?
Sunshine Coast Queensland
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.
