At mating time, male Bowerbirds build elaborate tunnel like structures on the ground by weaving long grass stems, thin branches and other plyable materials together. They then collect an assortment of objects they think will be appealinig to a female bower bird, such as colorful stones, seeds, feathers, pieces of bright colored plastic etc. and arranges them at his doorstep. The female Bower bird either approves and enters the "bower" or flies off in search of a more imaginative and successful male candidate for breeding.
