Pink Bower Bird Discovered in Pinky's Backyard

New species of Bower Bird discovered in Central North Texas. The usual colouring of the male Satin Bower Bird is a spectacular deep almost navy blue that shines with a satin like sheen, hence the name. The new species is a Pink Bower Bird. The male builds a nest on the ground that is actually a bower of twigs and small branches and dances around his territory to call his mate. He adorns his bower with pretty things, such as drinking straws and even clothes pins, especially if they are a pink colour.
