Quarto,304 pp.,photographs, dustwrapper. WAS $80. Bowerbirds are fascinating because of their unusual behaviour involving building complex structures, called bowers. Some bowers are like miniature buildings and are artistically decorated with flowers, fruits, bones, shells, feathers and much more, including numerous human artefacts.
