The Spotted Bowerbird *(Chlamydera maculata)* is a medium-sized, slim and compact bird native to the dry inland woodlands of eastern Australia. It is renowned for its elaborate bower-building and impressive vocal mimicry. Common in parts of Queensland and New South Wales, this species is often found in areas with dense understory, where its cryptic plumage helps it blend into the environment.
