The Golden-fronted Bowerbird is a spectacular bowerbird named for the brilliant golden crest of the male. It is a highly sought-after species inhabiting remote New Guinea forests.
Where to spot
Found in the montane cloud forests of north-central New Guinea, a region that is often difficult to access due to its remote and rugged terrain.
How to spot
Requires specialized expeditions to its remote habitat. Look for its bower and listen for its calls, which can include mimicry. Spotting the elusive male requires significant patience and quiet approach.
When to spot
Observations are rare due to its remote habitat. Breeding behavior, including bower display, likely peaks during the dry season, when conditions are more favorable.

The male builds an 'avenue'-type bower, a pathway of sticks decorated with bright green moss, fungi, and sometimes even pieces of plastic or glass if found, demonstrating its keen eye for specific colors.
