The regent bowerbird is a bird of the rainforests of eastern Australia, velvety black with an intensely golden-yellow crown and wings. Like the other bowerbirds, the male builds an avenue of two walls of twigs on the forest floor and decorates it, in his case with snail shells, berries and leaves. He also paints the walls with a paste of saliva and plant material applied with a tool.
