He looks so dejected in the one at the end.
Lemme smash?
Becky, just call her
No Ron, go find Becky
I have absolutely no idea what’s going on here.
Are those supposed to be condoms or trash?
It's a bower bird performance centre. Quite literally. They make an area where they can perform for a mate.
They like the colour blue so collect heaps of blue things and decorate their bower with them.
This one has got a bunch of milk bottle caps, milk bottle cap rings, blue plastic straws and what look like pegs.
It sounds funny till you think about stuff that humans do for exactly the same reason (to be "interesting" to a prospective partner)
I’ve never heard of a bowerbird. I googled it and it seems anyone not up on Pacific avians might have the same confusion
- This bird
And now I have somewhat of a mess on my hands.
Tobias! You blowhard!
Get her a stick. Bitches love sticks.
Which bird does this?
Bowerbird!

I love bird mating rituals. The bowerbird's rituals is one of my favorites
Kakapos are also great

If only they managed to actually meet each other through one
are the blue things bottle caps and syringes?
Absolutely milk bottle caps. It looks like syringes too but there could be plastic straws mixed in. Needs more pixels. Bottle caps are common in bowerbird decor, I've seen blue clothes pegs too
Plastic straws, clothes pegs, bottle caps, bottle rings.

How else could they activate the 13th chevron?
There's only 9 chevrons
That’s what they want you to think!
This would 100% work on me. I would love it if a guy took me to see a bowerbird. Or if he was a bowerbird.
big same, no homo
It's the girl's fault for only being attracted to screaming ovals
yeah well, why don't you pick the spot next time
Lemme smash
No, Ron. Go find Becky.
Nice now it's a party
For a bird, it's quite ornate
