The Fawn-breasted Bowerbird, Chlamydera cerviniventris is a medium-sized, bowerbird with a greyish brown spotted white plumage, a black bill, dark brown iris, yellow mouth and an orange buff below. Both sexes are similar. The female is slightly smaller than the male. The Fawn-breasted Bowerbird is distributed in New Guinea and Northern Australia where it inhabits the tropical forests, mangroves, savanna woodlands and forest edges. Its diet consists mainly of figs, fruits and insects. The nest is a loose cup made of small sticks up in a tree. The bower itself is that of "avenue-type" with two sides of wall of sticks and usually decorated with green-colored berries. Bowerbirds are most known for their unique courtship behavior, where males build a structure and decorate it with sticks and brightly colored objects in an attempt to attract a mate.
Photo 9056 was taken at the San Diego Zoo and photo 3845 at the Honolulu Zoo. Since I could not get this bird to turn around I copped a frontal photo from the sign (3856).
