BB the bower bird


BB was a rehabilitated Great bower bird who was released at the wetlands earlier this year.

He was supposed to fly off with our other bower birds and be free !!

Unfortunately BB didn't want to leave and became our resident Bower bird. He was very friendly, greeting people as they arrived, swooping over their heads. He loved toes especially painted toe nails and would chase kids around the visitor centre. But BB was becoming a pest, he was starting to enjoy peoples lunches and had taken to living in the visitor centre. He was not looking like he would leave "home" any time soon. So BB was taken for a ride over to Pandanus Lagoon and told to fly away and be a bower bird !

That was 2 weeks ago and so far he has not returned to the visitor centre, so we hope he has now found a home.

Whenever we hear a bower bird we call out BB!!
