Fawn-breasted Bowerbird

Chlamydera cerviniventris

The fawn-breasted bowerbird (Chlamydera cerviniventris) is a medium-sized, up to 32 cm long, bowerbird with a greyish brown spotted white plumage, a black bill, dark brown iris, yellow mouth and an orange buff below. Both sexes are similar. The female is slightly smaller than the male. The fawn-breasted bowerbird is distributed throughout New Guinea and northern Cape York Peninsula, where it inhabits the tropical forests, mangroves, savanna woodlands and forest edges. Its diet consists mainly of figs, fruits and insects. The nest is a loose cup made of small sticks up in a tree. The bower itself is that of "avenue-type" with two side-walls of sticks and usually decorated with green-colored berries.
