Golden Bowerbird Prionodura newtoniana

The Golden Bowerbird is the smallest of the bowerbirds. The male bird is intensively coloured with a mixture of olive-green and deep golden-yellow, which seems to glow in the light of the rainforest he lives in.

We had the chance to see this bird in its natural habitat on our latest Far North Queensland trip shown to us by the incredible Alan Gillanders.

This bird offered us a real show when he came in to decorate his bower.
