A male Western Bowerbird collecting sandalwood fruit for its 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. This male Western Bowerbird at Wooleen Station in the Murchison Region of Western Australia was collecting green Sandalwood fruits and hopping back to decorate his bower, hidden under the shrub behind him. Elevation: 293 m. Date added to IBC: August 21, 2018.
