Vogelkop bowerbirds are found in New Guinea and are named after the beautiful shelters they build to attract mates. Each bowerbird population makes slightly different bowers. Some use colourful flowers or leaves, some may choose stones or other objects and they lay these out in their own patterns, perhaps in response to the divergent tastes of females in the area.

The Vogelkop Bowerbird is one of my favorite birds. How could you not love a bird that builds its own art gallery in an attempt to get laid? That is dedication!
