The best "house" on offer!

Rs post!

This is a post on the peculiar bird called the Bower Bird.

While playing hide and seek at the campsite, C spotted a strange nest. It was like a hollow tube made of sticks. If you went around it, (at both ends) there was a collection of white rocks and inside a collection of black rocks.

A kind lady said it was made by a Bowerbird. I (as the local bird watcher and lover) had heard of the Bowerbird before and made up my mind to see it. I sat down further off and brought my binoculars and waited.

My efforts were fruitless but later on I saw a glimpse of it carrying a white rock in its beak.


Bowerbird Research :

Bowerbirds are known to decorate their nests in a peculiar way. They are also known to cultivate the bushes around them too!

He (the male) chooses a spot close to a special type of plant and uses the fruit to decorate his nest. (ONLY the inside) He finds some rocks and flowers to decorate the out side. Research proves that the plants near the nest are greener and healthier than the plants further away.
