Elizabeth Taylor would have been jealous of these eyes! The Satin Bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchus violaceus) is a bowerbird endemic to eastern Australia.
Female Satin Bowerbird
You can find them in Eastern Australia, check with local birders and eBird as the bowers are usually well known. Girraween (blue dot) has an easy-to-find bower near the toilet block. If they are thirsty, they will let you know by sitting on the water fountain and looking at you expectantly. Once you find a bower, don’t just tick your list and move on, these birds are very entertaining so sit down and watch them for awhile!
