The bower birds of Pearl Beach are a special depiction of nature and nurture in the local area. The vexed question, representing a conflict in the environment, is: How sustainable will it be for the male birds to continue to collect blue artificial and often plastic items to advertise the bower for his lady? The bower bird’s bower celebrates nature and nurture in Pearl Beach. This art installation is to allow visitors to Pearl Beach to be attracted to and walk through the bower.
