Greetings

Today I am gonna tell you that human is not only the romantic creature that build and decorates their houses to have a partner.
A partner to have romance and to love for whole life.
There are other creatures too having the same feeling that humans do and
One of nature's most beautiful and colorful creatures is the Bower Bird, which is famous for decorating its home with colorful and shiny items, and this decoration is an attempt by the male bower to attract the female. ۔

This breed of Bower Bird is found in the Vogelkop area of the Indonesian island of New Guinea and is known for this.

An interesting and special thing is that it can also mimic openly of New Guinea people.

Yes, it sounds like a parrot.

But the most special and unique thing about this bird is its nest made of straw, which the male bower decorates to lure a female.

Nature has gifted him with an architect-like ability, and by using it, the bird first builds its home with great skill.
And later arranges for decoration.
Bower makes a pillar out of a few thick straws to make his nest and completes his hut-like house by placing several straws on it.

When the house is completed, the male bower cleans the front of door and decorates it with various items, and then the wait for the "beloved" begins.

To attract the female to the house, the male bower picks various dried leaves, flowers, fruits, grains and bugs that are shiny.
In addition, the bird lays in front of its nest small heaps of coal, molds of various types and colors, and even deer manganese.
It tries to collect all the colors in front of its place which can make it attractive to the partner.

Interestingly and surprisingly, Bower does not just bring these items and throw them away, but also puts them in front of the house in a special order.
It also often steals things from other bird's nest.

Bower also includes human-made items such as plastic bottles, colored lids, etc. Not only this, with the help of this bird you can change the decoration of your home from time to time.

The female of this bird sits on a nearby tree from where she looks at the nest and its decoration and the decoration of the nest that pleases her, it seems to belong to its owner.

But then they match for a few seconds.
Most males are deprived of mating for breeding sadly and have to work hard to rebuild and decorate the house in a particular season, and so on.

Is it not amazing?
If Yes then keep supporting, so I can write more articles for you.

Thank for coming and reading.
