À propos

The Black-eared Catbird is a medium-sized, stocky bowerbird with green upperparts, a spotted white-and-brown breast, and conspicuous black ear patches framing a pale face. It inhabits rainforests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia, staying close to dense undergrowth and forest edges. It feeds on fruits, berries, and occasionally invertebrates, and unlike most bowerbirds, it does not build a bower for courtship.
