Satin Bowerbird – Calls and Song
Like other members of the bowerbird family, Satin Bowerbirds exhibit complex courtship behaviour. This species builds an avenue-type bower and decorates it with carefully selected ornaments, preferring items which are blue or yellow. In bowers near human habitation, blue plastic straws and plastic bottle lids are often the most common decorations.
Satin Bowerbirds make a variety of calls including mechanical churring and buzzing, harsh grating calls, and loud descending whistles.
