A great bowerbird (Chlamydera nuchalis) tends to his bower at Lake Argyle in Western Australia. He decorates with white and green objects, using forced perpective to make the items look of uniform size. Younger males, such as the one at the other end of the bower, drop by to learn how to properly decorate a bower to attract females.
