Golden Bowerbird
4 sections
The Golden Bowerbird (*Prionodura newtoniana*) is Australia’s smallest bowerbird and is found only in the upland rainforests of far north Queensland, particularly in the Atherton Tablelands, Paluma Range, and nearby mountain regions. Males are renowned for constructing towering stick bowers, unique maypole structures that can last for decades.
