This is the female mate of last weeks Superb Blue-wren. The female isn’t as colourful as the male, which is typical in the bird kingdom. The reason for this? Well, the male has to be good looking enough to attract a mate, and he has to look more appertising, in order to distract a predator’s attention away from the female.
