This bird is called the Undertaker since this bower is next to a shack that looks like it belongs to a grave digger. Even when other Satin Bowerbirds are relaxing the Undertaker is known for carefully tending to his bower making sure its perfect so its not too surprising we managed to see him at work. A real thrill. Apparently, bower building is a competitive business where males steal from each other and destroy each others bowers to create to perfect bower to attact the female.
