The male MacGregor's Bowerbird has a conspicuous orange head plume. He builds and decorates a bower of sticks to court females. The species lives in mountain forests of central and eastern New Guinea.
Females are dark brown with an olive cast and paler faces and necks. Males have dark green, black, and brown feathers tipped with glossy orange, plus a bright orange head plume.
Males build a courtship structure of twigs on ridges and decorate it with fruit and other objects. A female inspects the bower and chooses a mate; she later builds a separate nest and raises the young herself.
