Thank you to all who have contributed to answering this query.  I wonder if the availability of blue feathers, flowers etc in an area affects the population distribution generally or breeding range specifically.

Yes, was being curious re our local species the Satin bowerbird.  However, reading the tidbits of other species collections is also very interesting.  I guess, there is also the option of using one's own feathers which could announce your own maturity and thus readiness to mate.
