The Australian Satin Bowerbird.

[silverbug]

I was out walking in the park when I noticed a Australian Satin Bowerbird flying around, the male bowerbird has satin shiny black feathers and vivid violet coloured eyes. So I carefully followed him back to his Bower, the bower is a structure he builds out of sticks which he uses to court many female bowerbirds.

The Satin Bowerbird decorates his bower with any blue object he can find, as you can see in the photo he has used milk bottle lids, blue cloths pegs, water bottle lids and straws to woo a potential mate. If the female is impressed with his building skills and she like his interior decorating she will proceed to mate with him.
