Bowerbirds /ËbaÊÉrbÉrd/ make up the bird family Ptilonorhynchidae. They are renowned for their unique courtship behaviour, where males build a structure and decorate it with sticks and brightly coloured objects in an attempt to attract a mate.The family has 20 species in eight genera.he Ailuroedus catbirds are monogamous, with males raising chicks with their partner, but all other bowerbirds are polygynous, with the female building the nest and raising the young alone. These latter species are commonly dimorphic, with the female being more drab in color.
Hi! This is an interesting question. Many birds will collect shiny objects, and even carry them to places like their nests (crows being one type of bird that does this) and even parakeets are attracted to shiny objects and mirrors. The type of bird I believe you may be referring to, though, is known as the bower bird.
