   About Bowerbirds
The bowerbird's long-distance advertising songs are loud vocalizations typically given by a male as he perches in the understory above his bower.

The male crestless bowerbird is completely drab. His plumage is indistinguishable from the female's. His bower has therefore grown more elaborate to take the place of colorful feathers. He gathers insect skeletons, shells, seeds and charcoal, and arranges them in neat piles in his bower. While bobbing about to attract the female, he holds a colorful object, usually a flower, in his bill.

What a simply Wonderful evening with the Bowerbirds
at the Hi Hat club in Providence.  A Great show and you
made my daughter Elizabeth and her boyfriend Travis
who couldn't be at the show so happy by taking your
valuable time out to talk on phone/autograph/take pictures
for them. 
Thank you Beth & Phil and your amazing drummer!
With your talent and humility you have proven what
the word success  is all about  .
