Yellow-breasted Bowerbird (Chlamydera lauterbachi)
About the Yellow-breasted Bowerbird
The yellow-breasted bowerbird (Chlamydera lauterbachi) also known as Lauterbach's bowerbird, is a medium-sized, approximately 27 cm long, bowerbird with a brownish-olive upperparts plumage, grayish-yellow upper breast, coppery crown, dark brown iris, yellow underparts, a black bill and pinkish-orange mouth. Both sexes are similar. The female exhibits less vibrant coloration than the male. The yellow-breasted bowerbird is distributed on mainland New Guinea, where it inhabits grasslands, lowlands, and subtropical mountain forests. Its diet mainly consists of fruits, caterpillars, beetles, and other insects. The nest is a shallow cup made of small sticks located in a tree. The bower itself is of the "avenue" type, with four walls made of sticks and an outward-angled main avenue wall.
