   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.







Also, we apologize that we have not been able to keep up with myspace messages, because we don't have fast internet at the Airstream, and myspace takes forever to load there. If you would like to get in touch with us, please go to bowerbirds.org and follow the email link.



Olive Hearts - Band Blog

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.

Aaaaargh!!! I was all set to come and listen to you at Captain's rest - was soooo flippin' excited (even recommended you to some people who probably saw you!), but I had to go to a charity ball instead!

Are you likely to ever play Glasgow again??

Just got back from your gig in Manchester. You guys are truly stunning, both musically, and to look at (OK, that sounds a little creepy...).
Anyway, thank you so much for a wonderful show. Absolutely Beautiful.
Good luck in Antwerp, it's an amazing place. And have a great tour! :D

Hej,
Please sign this, so we can stop the cruelty: http://www.animalsmatter.org/ and stop the animal cruelty in China. The fur industry is a cruel thing overall, but here it goes to another level with that fact that they remove the fur while the animal (such as cats, foxes, dogs..) is still alive.
