Green and white objects on the platform of a male Western Bowerbird's bower. The Western Bowerbird (Chlamydera guttata) occurs in two disjunct areas in semi-arid Australia. Males are polygamous, mating with several females over the breeding season and leaving the female to take on all nest-building, incubation and rearing of the chicks. Males construct an avenue-type bower of sticks that is placed on top of a flat platform of sticks. The platform is decorated with white, green and occasionally blue objects including bleached bones, snail shells, pebbles and fruits. Man-made objects are also used for decoration, including pieces of white glass, aluminium bottle tops, and other treasures. The green fruits on this bower are from a Sandalwood tree, Santalum lanceolatum. Elevation: 293 m. Date added to IBC: August 21, 2018.
