https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowerbird
Bowerbirds (/ˈbaʊ.ərbɜːrd/) make up the bird family Ptilonorhynchidae. They are renowned for their unique courtship behaviour, where males build a structure and decorate it with sticks and brightly coloured objects in an attempt to attract a mate.
What? Bitches love blue!
"You want
some fuk?"
Becky pls, I showed you my tail
Only long tails!
that bird is doing its best and is very proud of its achievements, leave it alone OK?
I'm always amazed at animals that are just doing their instinctive thing but its just so extra
Guys are still living in bower? I thought everyone moved to npm.
My wife: "Why can't we have nice stuff?"
Me: "Because we don't need it, it's not functional and it takes up way too much space"
Blue is a good colour
Swiggety swooty
Needs some yellow.
Everything you need in plain sight, exactly where it's supposed to be.
And look at that majestic nest behind! An iron grass throne for the kids, because they deserve the very best! They'll be our little dragon eggs if you'll be my khaleesi...
What's wrong with it?
Not enough cloth pegs, they're all milk bottle caps.
Smh my head, people will see a guy thriving with his milk bottle caps and claim he's a barbarian for only having one cloth peg. Let birds enjoy things.
