I wonder if any Bowerbirds have shared your revelation.

This a fascinating wiki entry. Thank you for making HN a more interesting place for all.

On a separate note, it seems the ornate courtship is offset with regular polygamy. I might be reading too much into it and try to extrapolate to human behavior, which is way more messy.

Thanks! I thought those who hadn't heard about Bowerbirds yet might find their habits interesting :) There are a few good documentaries as well.
