I've stumbled upon the most romantic bird who decorates his bower to attract a female. A bower is an attractive dwelling or retreat. You can find my source here.

Male Bowerbirds are so desperate for attention for the opposite sex, they build these love nests with incredible color palettes. Science has discovered that Bowerbirds prefer Blue, perhaps because Blue is the rarest color in nature. Sometimes they end up using trash and garbage to create beautiful works of art! The results are mind-blowing.



Bowerbirds attract females using interior decoration. Imagine the amount of dedication it takes to create this beauty.






Everything has to be properly arranged to show attract his mate. I wonder where he found this $10.00 bill?




The male bowerbird spends most of his day collecting and placing stones, trash, ribbons, twigs, interesting items and as much Blue as he can find. The female chooses the nest she prefers.

Happy Blue Monday!
