Bowerbird Matching Game

Female Satin bowerbird
Congratulations. You have correctly matched this bower with the satin bowerbird and his mate.

This bower happens to be built by a top male, which means that the female won't need to shop around for another male next year—when you've found your perfect mate, who needs to shop around! But if this bird is looking for a mate that's faithful, she'll be disappointed: Top males mate with up to 25 different females in a season.

Congratulations! The matching game is over.

You have successfully matched all five bowers to their male builders and mates.
