In the forests of New Guinea and Australia live a group of about 15 different species of birds that we could call gardener birds, true seductive architects. The males build a very elaborate hut , which is not only a nest, but also serves to seduce and attract the female and to effect copulation. The house, built on the ground, is almost a meter high and is preceded by a path, which the male adorns with flowers, worms, shells, feathers and crystals arranged with great care. Some of them paint the walls red with a mixture of dye and saliva. But the males, always in perpetual competition with others, often try to steal the decoration and destroy the love nest of the more distracted rivals.
