Great Bowerbird - funky colour scheme

[Alistair Stewart <>]

Hey All,

Too add to Tims Great Bowerbird thievery, I found quite a few 
interesting ornaments in some bowers at Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) 
National Park, NT.

Many bowers had galvinised and stainless steel nails, bolts, nuts and 
washers in them, stolen from the Parks and tour operator workshops. The 
rangers had to periodically 'raid' some of the bowers, particularly if 
specific stainless steel bolts and parts go missing when they are 
working with them.

They often had toys in them. There were green marbles, plastic objects 
and in one case, a toy, silver ninja star. But the best bower would have 
to be the one with a green army man set up, standing in the middle of 
the bower, leaning on his rifle, throwing a grenade down the tunnel.

Bird-on
