Cheering-up bird 11- Regents Bower Bird



Today's cheering up bird is a male Regent's Bower bird: an animal with a life history as colourful as the male's plumage. This image comes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Regentbowerbirdmale.jpg the photographer is credited there as "Myobatrachidae" / "Kelson" and the copyright information (creative commons license details) can be found here.

(Female bower birds have a much drabber appearance- brown and white speckles all over except for a black patch on the tops of their heads.)
