Constructing a brightly colored nest works wonders for the bowerbird. - 多数种类的园丁鸟都是一夫多妻制,即一只雄鸟拥有多于一只的雌性配偶;
Because most bowerbirds are polygynous, meaning one male is the mate of more than one female, and these males build decorative bowers, they make excellent species for testing this idea. - 鉴于它们的上述才能,研究人员认为园丁鸟具有审美观和潜在的、模糊的文化意识,这些特征除人类之外,在其它物种中极其罕见。
