Crazy, huh? Although I never created an actual "Bowerbird Line," I think these guys would appreciate some of my blue jewelry. I just hope they don't steal any of it for their bowers.

September Bird of the Month: Bowerbird
Today I have an awesome bird to share. The bowerbird. I learned about these birds during my first week of grad school. They are awesome because of the males' courtship behavior. In order to attract a mate, males will build a structure called a bower, decorate it with blue objects, and then sing and dance. Watch.

I love that they use blue to attract a mate :) And your blue jewelry is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. And I love the white bird you use as a prop in your photos.
ReplyDeleteI'd keep a close watch on my jewelry if I were you! Just in case....
ReplyDeleteI think the Bowerbird must be the first artistic, crafting bird! And he upcycles too!
That's fascinating! Your blue jewelry is gorgeous, too.
