New species for me. I didn't even realize this species could be found locally. That eye is like nothing i have ever seen before. Needless to say i have a number of portraits of this girl.
Satin Bower Bird. (Female). Ptilonorhynchus violaceus.
One of the bower decorations is usually carried in the male's bill. If impressed, the female moves into the bower avenue for mating and then leaves to perform the nesting duties on her own, while the male readies himself for courting more prospective females.
Satin Bowerbirds feed mostly on fruits throughout the year. During summer (breeding) the diet is supplemented with a large number of insects, while leaves are often eaten during the winter months.
