Satin Bowerbird

This is a discussion on Satin Bowerbird within the Animals (mammals, birds, insects etc.) forums, part of the Show your photo (Color) - Landscape & Nature (flowers, mountains, storms etc.) category; I love the iridescent sheen in the feathers of the males and the beautiful olives and greens in the female. ...

    Default Satin Bowerbird

    I love the iridescent sheen in the feathers of the males and the beautiful olives and greens in the female. Not to mention those eyes. A rare sight in the bird kingdom where the female matches or surpasses the male for beauty.

    Those eyes look like something you might expect from a sea creature and I agree that the female is quite lovely. Very well done.
