The Golden Bowerbird is a small, strikingly colored bowerbird, with males displaying brilliant golden and yellow plumage. It is endemic to the rainforests of Queensland, Australia.
Where to spot
Found in the humid, tropical rainforests of the Wet Tropics of Queensland, Australia, primarily at higher elevations in the mountains.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable towering bower on the forest floor, which is often easier to spot than the bird itself. The male is frequently seen near his bower, performing displays; listen for its buzzing and whirring calls.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during the breeding season, typically from October to January, when males are constructing and maintaining their elaborate bowers.

The male builds the tallest bower of any bowerbird, consisting of two towers of sticks up to 3 meters (10 feet) high, connected by a display perch, a true architectural marvel.
