When we were at 15 Mile Creek camp we found a bower that had been built by a satin bower bird. The bird had decorated his bower with pegs, a headband, wrappers,and electrical tape. When we got back to school we found out a lot about bower birds by researching on the internet.This is what I found out about the bowerbird.
The male bower bird attracts a mate by making a structure of twigs called a bower. The bird spends many hours making it attractive by decorating it with berries and flowers. Female bower birds choose the bird with the prettiest bowers. After mating the female goes away and makes a nest for her eggs. The male's bower is no longer needed. Bower birds live in Australia and New Guinea,in rainforests and dry bush lands.
