Male Satin Bowerbird

The male Satin Bowerbird is a very striking bird with beautiful blue/purple eyes.
They don't turn this colour until they are over 6 or 7 years old.

Scientific name: Ptilonorhynchus violaceus

Stunning bird!

Very nice shot Bear, I like how you have retained the detail and texture in the feathers, not easy to achieve with these usually wary birds.

Gorgeous bird.
You certainly captured the splendour of the Bowerbird

Cheers all, appreciated

Beautiful. Wild bird?
