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


Dude, you are good. Stunning photos.
I still love the eyes on these ones

Thanks Tim and Nick, appreciated guys.
My lady would go absolutely bonkers if she had anything like that flitting around the yard.
Beautiful birds and stunning photos!
Thanks Daniel, appreciated!
