Well after much binding of metal rods together with wire the bower has finally come together. And by the way Suzi in the end there was not such a great amount of 'playing' - the wire tying was pretty tedious. Noela - I don't think I will be adding any twigs.
As you can see from the photo above the bower is made up of a central platform and the arch - which in reality is a series of sticks that are upright and running off at various angles.
The male Satin Bower Bird usually decorates the central platform with blue objects to attract the female. I have used some paper clay leaves made by Ken Munsie and glass beads just to give an idea how it might look in the LucasParklands Exhibition setting. If time permits I will create blue bits by doing some enameling.
lol... lookin good!
