OK Lily, here is my nesting Picture.
As you may be aware, this beautiful Bird builds a ‘Bower’.
He uses it to seduce a suitable female.
He does that by impressing the pants off her with all these blue trinkets.
I have also seen shiny rock opals and polished Snail Shells amongst his treasures.
They don’t lay eggs in the Bower.
Once she has decided they are a match.
They will build a real nest to hold the eggs.
This nest is generally about 25 feet off the ground.
