The wallaby, the possum, the anteater, the armadillo, the peafowl, the pigeon, the bowerbird, the cockatoo, the flamingo--all heard, all were aware that something out of the ordinary was happening.
And I watched a great bowerbird at his bower trying to seduce a female with a red chili pepper, which he was displaying to her on the edge of a cemetery in Queensland in Australia.
