In the Victorian alpine rainforest I saw a pair of Satin
Bowerbirds, Chlamydera violaceus, while the female was
gorging herself on Persimmons,
he fed well in the depths of the tree and in the tree below, I only
got a glimpse of him with his back turned. I saw two more
while we were there but always high up and far away or hidden
inside the leafy protection of a tree. The male is black with a
purple sheen, he collects blue and yellow objects in his bower
where he displays for his lady.
