ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD

 Attempts  to  wow  women  prove  exhausting.  

 

A frequent visitor to Little Darwin's clothesline  is  this  Great  Bowerbird intent on snaffling  one  or more of  the  highly desirable bright metal  pegs  with  which  to  decorate  its  bower  to  attract   a  female. 

Unfortunately , the pegs are spring loaded  and refuse  to  be  taken away , which  annoys the  bird . This causes him to fly about the  yard  looking for other  desirable  gems , which  include  green and  blue  objects , bright  threads .

Still , he regularly comes back  to  the  clothesline ,often when it is draped with washing , and after  a hard day tugging pegs and  looking for bullion  to  dazzle  a flighty  feathered  femme  who believes diamonds and ingots are a  girl's best friend, recovers  by  sunbaking.  


After a  hard day picking up bullion  in his campaign to  attract  a  feathered female who  believes  diamonds  and ingots are a girl's best friend , he is shown  resting , sunbaking .
