The male is spectacular whereas the female is relatively plain - speckled with a small black patch on the head. It is an Australian endemic species, found in rainforests and their margins in eastern areas. Like the Satin Bowerbird, it builds an 'avenue' bower comprising two small walls of sticks. It likes to decorates the bower with yellow objects. It also produces a blue/green saliva which it uses to 'paint' the bower, sometimes using leaves as brushes. It is named after the British Prince Regent.
