Lovely pictures Jim - that's an amazing color transformation they do as they mature.

My lady would go absolutely bonkers if she had anything like that flitting around the yard.

Beautiful birds and stunning photos!

Satin Bowerbird
Sharing some of my mandarin with me awhile back :)

Their eyes always amaze me. When they turn around 6 -7 years old the males turn the satin black like the adult male in the last photo.

Scientific name: Ptilonorhynchus violaceus
