The Fawn-breasted Bowerbird (*Chlamydera cerviniventris*) is Australia’s most northerly bowerbird, found only in the far northern Cape York Peninsula and southern New Guinea. This medium-sized, bird is best known for the elaborate avenue bowers built by males to attract mates, an amazing sight in tropical woodlands and forests.
