Spotted
The Adelbert Bowerbird is a relatively recently described species, known for the male's vibrant orange-yellow plumage. It is restricted to the Adelbert Mountains of New Guinea.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of the Adelbert Mountains in north-eastern New Guinea. Its geographical range is quite restricted and isolated.
How to spot
Due to its rarity and isolated habitat, observing this species requires specialized expeditions to its specific mountain range. Listen for its calls and search patiently in suitable montane forest.
When to spot
Observations are scarce due to its remote and limited habitat. Breeding activity, including bower display, likely occurs during the dry season, but specific timings are not well-documented.
Discovered as a distinct species relatively late, this bird builds an 'avenue' type bower, decorated with green moss, fungi, and occasionally bright red berries, showcasing its unique aesthetic.
