The Tooth-billed Bowerbird is a unique bowerbird distinguished by its distinctive serrated bill and elaborate courtship display areas. It is endemic to the humid rainforests of Queensland, Australia.
Where to spot
Restricted to the highland rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands in northeastern Queensland, Australia, primarily at higher elevations.
How to spot
Locate male display courts on the forest floor, recognizable by the cleared area and meticulously arranged fresh leaves. Patience is required, as the birds can be shy; listen for their remarkable mimicry of other bird calls.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season, from October to January, when males are actively maintaining their display courts and performing courtship rituals.

Males clear a 'stage' on the forest floor, decorating it exclusively with freshly picked, pale green leaves that they replace daily to ensure their vibrant appearance for display.
