Bowerbird Matching Game
Bower #2


Bower 2

The fastidious owner of this fine maypole-type bower is certainly out to impress—not a twig that surrounds the pole is out of place and all debris has been cleared from the circular moss court.

Adorning the pole are hundreds of ornaments, including insect parts, regurgitated fruit pulp, splendid seed pods, and magnificent hanging caterpillar droppings.

Which of the following bowerbird couples belongs to this bower?

Male bowerbirds
Bowerbird male Bowerbird male Bowerbird male Bowerbird male Bowerbird male


Bowerbird female Bowerbird female Bowerbird female Bowerbird female Bowerbird female
Female bowerbirds
