Fawn Breasted Bowerbird

[guppiecat]

Yes, it’s just a simplified bower, made by a bowerbird. Not very impressive to look at … until you realize that we have no idea which bird behavior is new and which have continued since the age of the dinosaurs.

Did dinosaurs make bowers? We don’t know, but would you want to live in a world where they didn’t?
