Famous for elaborate courtship, a male Satin Bowerbird uses twigs to construct an impressive avenue of twigs, known as the bower, during breeding season to dazzle female bowerbirds. These bowers are decorated with blue objects, accentuating the bird’s shiny blue-black plumage (a look which takes seven years to grow in). Small fallen twigs are crucial for this species survival and with a nod to the title of the exhibition From the Ground Up, we’ve painted the Bowerbird from the visual perspective of looking up from the bower.
