Thought For Today - Saturday 9th February

Bowerbird

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

Walt Whitman

Note about the picture - this is a Satin Bowerbird. Tomorrow I will post a picture of him in his nest, where he collects together blue things to decorate his “bower” and attract female Bowerbirds. The day after I have a photo of a female Satin Bowerbird. These birds are native to the area where I live and if you are wearing something blue when you go bushwalking, the male might follow you if he spots you in order to try and steal more blue things for his nest.

    Hmm - that is interesting about this bird. It is funny that they would prefer a certain color for their nests. Nature always has some interesting things to learn. :)
