The male satin bowerbird creates a nest called a bower and fills it with colored items. As they mature, they tend to focus on collecting items that are blue, whereas they can be more varied in their youth. In addition to displaying their collections, they also perform dances to attract a mate. So in this instance, the behavior manifests in males only, but they do not rely solely on their collection to attract attention. I suspect these birds would have enjoyed the Main Show in 2015 most of all.

That totally makes sense :-)

| Thank you Vic, now I finally know that one who collects toothpick boxes is called entredentolignumologist - all my life I had to live without having a name for such people ;-)

I'm afraid sea shells = malachologist.

I'd love to hear women's voices - there are a few on this forum who have certainly something to say.

As the undoubted possessor of double dominant squirrel genes, I recognize the syndrome and the fact that having 3 of anything is the potential beginning of another collection. If we take 3 as the magic threshold it means only actively aware nonsquirrels or antisquirrels are completely free of the syndrome. Evidently resistance is close to futile. |
Peter,
I took a quick look at all of the wine bottles in the man cave and realized I am in trouble! Agh! Another collection! Aw, nuts! There's a bunch of Scotch, too...ye gads! Oh, those are Marcie's....whew! What a relief!

Hello James.
What I say is correct, in the Spanish forum there is not a separate section of women's collections; "nimfiara" has published her collection in the same place as everyone, for example me...

Perhaps that forum didn't have a Spanish equivalent to our Gail who promoted women and minerals.
