Bower Bird


My niece is quite the bower bird!! This is what my sister pulled out of her school bag pockets! I thought it was hilarious and worth sharing :-)

Definition of a bower bird:

In and around the bower the male places a variety of brightly colored objects he has collected. These objects — usually different among each species — may include hundreds of shells, leaves, flowers, feathers, stones, berries, and even discarded plastic items, coins, nails, rifle shells, or pieces of glass. The males spend hours arranging this collection.
