The Yellow-breasted Bowerbird is a medium-sized bowerbird characterized by its distinct yellow breast and olive-green upperparts. It is endemic to the highlands of New Guinea.
Where to spot
Found in the montane forests and forest edges of central and eastern New Guinea, typically at elevations between 1200m and 2000m.
How to spot
Seek out its unique maypole bower, which provides the best clue to its presence. The bird can be shy and reclusive, so quiet observation is key. Listen for its distinctive, often harsh calls.
When to spot
Most active during the breeding season, which varies geographically but often falls between April and November, when males are constructing and displaying at their bowers.

The male builds a relatively simple 'maypole' type bower, which is a stick tower constructed around a central sapling, sometimes decorated with green moss or leaves, unlike the more complex avenue bowers.
