I find these birds really facinating and have spent untold hours watching them arranging and tiding thier bowers.

Brilliant photos Headsie and just look at the patterns in that feather detail, thanks for showing me a bird I have not seen. You did well to get the close up shot.

Another great shot Headsie. First one is magic would love to see one.
Thanks for the comments, I'm only familar with the great and the western bower birds but the western is a great bird to find. Well they usually find me and seem very interested in what I am doing. They follow me around and seem to show off when I am near their bower, they will adjust a few of their collections and then fly over near me almost like they want some recognition. Just out of curiosity I move two of the bits of glass near his bower and walked away. He immediately went over and rearranged the glass pieces. I normally see females hanging around the bower and one or two nests in the trees nearby.
Super shots, Headsie. They've prompted me to check the distribution maps of the various Australian Bowerbird species. I suppose I've had this vague notion that they were all on the east coast or in the Top End so I was most interested to see that the Western Bowerbird range, for example, covers large areas of inland NT & WA. Thanks so much for that.
I love the feather patterns in this bird. Thanks for showing us a bird we won't see around here.
