The male Australian bower-bird spends his days constructing an intricate bower in the forest. This pigeon-sized avian architect meticulously weaves leaves, moss, and twigs into an elaborate structure. However, this bower is not merely a shelter. It is solely a mating ground. The bird's sole aim is to entice a female and mate before she departs to lay eggs elsewhere. Adorning is the primary fixation in achieving this goal. Females find a male appealing if his bower is exquisitely decorated. Consequently, birds incorporate shells, berries, flowers, and silvery leaves into the complex bower. Moreover, to surpass their competitors, some birds integrate bright coins, spoons, and scraps of aluminum foil. If a gust of wind disrupts a twig's placement or a leaf withers, they promptly redecorate the bower.
