Podcasts about Bowerbird

In the 1800s, it was hunted for its beautiful feathers and thought to be extinct. Jared Diamond describes how he rediscovered the Golden-fronted Bowerbird on a survey trip in the Foja Mountains of New Guinea.

In our main interview, Peggy Byrne discusses the 15th anniversary of Bowerbird Design Market, exploring the tension between consumerism and thoughtful acquisition while showcasing how handmade and thoughtfully-designed items can add value without contributing to clutter. In the SA Drink Of The Week, we taste Victor Harbor Gin from Heaps Good Spirits, featuring local coastal daisy bush botanicals that create a unique savory profile.

Running Sheet: Bowerbird Design Market 2024: A Guide to Meaningful Gift-Giving 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:03:36 SA Drink Of The Week The South Australian Drink Of The Week this week is the Victor Harbor Gin from Heaps Good Spirits. A tasting of Heaps Good Spirits' Victor Harbor Gin revealed complex flavors including coastal daisy bush botanicals, creating a unique savoury profile that captures the essence of the region. The gin demonstrated careful craftsmanship and local ingredient selection. Peggy and Steve both agreed it is perfect for drinking neat, such is its elegance. 00:11:47 Peggy Byrne, Bowerbird Design Market Throughout human history, the act of gift-giving has undergone remarkable transformations. In prehistoric times, people exchanged food and tools not as commodities, but as ways to strengthen social bonds and build alliances. Ancient civilisations like Egypt and Rome elevated gifting into elaborate diplomatic and religious practices, where gifts carried deep symbolic meaning. During the Middle Ages, gifts – often food-based – became powerful symbols of status and authority between nobles and their subjects.But perhaps the most dramatic shift came with the rise of modern consumerism. Gift-giving transformed from something that cost the giver primarily time and care – like a handwoven blanket or carefully preserved foods – into something that primarily costs money. Instead of gifts emerging from hours of careful labour, they now typically emerge from shopping bags.Today, we face a fascinating paradox. While neuroscience shows that gift-giving activates pleasure centres in our brains, many people feel overwhelmed by receiving yet another item that adds to their household clutter. This tension between the joy of giving and the stress of accumulation makes this conversation particularly timely.Today we're speaking with Peggy Byrne, owner of Adelaide's Bowerbird Design Market, which for 15 years has been creating a space where handmade crafts and artisanal products can find their place in our modern gift-giving culture. The Bowerbird Design Market runs November 22-24, 2024, at the Wayville Pavilion, Adelaide Showground. Friday night runs 4-9pm with a special 2-for-1 entry offer, while Saturday and Sunday run 10am-5pm. Entry is $6 for adults, with children under 13 free. The event features golden ticket prizes all weekend, workshops for both adults and children, and even a visit from Santa supporting Catherine House with gold coin donations. Peggy Byrne, entering her fifth year at the helm of Bowerbird Design Market, provided several profound insights. On Quality vs Quantity: She shared a personal journey from filling her first apartment with mass-produced items to later choosing fewer, more meaningful pieces: “I bought one really good knife and I kept the teacups my grandmother gave me because they meant something to me.” This philosophy underpins Bowerbird's approach to modern consumption. On Curation and Selection: Byrne revealed the complex balancing act of curating the market, explaining how she manages categories like jewellery: “I need a bit of silver, and I need a little bit of ceramic, and I need a little bit of polymer… But as a whole, I still have 20 jewellers.” Her careful consideration extends to price points within each category, ensuring accessibility alongside exclusivity. On Maker-Customer Connection: The market mandates that designers must be present at least one day, fostering genuine connections. As Byrne emphasised, “They don't mind if you approach and don't end up buying. They love to tell their story.” 15th Anniversary Highlights: The upcoming market (November 22-24 at Adelaide Showground) features exciting new additions including: George the Slug: Whimsical ceramic creations that “make you happy” Hey Lady: Traditional braided guitar straps with contemporary colours Dog Boy Knives: Recycled steel transformed into premium kitchen tools Emma Clow Glass: Hand-blown stemless glasses that marry function with art Workshop Innovation: The market offers hands-on experiences including: Natural silk dyeing with Garden to Gallery Polymer clay jewellery making with Berry Beret Silver ring casting with Claire Brooks Children's art workshops with Little Picassos Environmental Consciousness: Byrne discussed how makers increasingly incorporate sustainability, from using offcuts for smaller items to choosing environmentally responsible packaging. The market encourages thoughtful consumption rather than mass acquisition. The interview concluded with Steve, who was initially resistant to acquiring more possessions, finding himself convinced of the value in choosing fewer, better items that carry meaning and story. As Byrne noted, “It's not necessarily volume… it's about what's behind it. Once you learn what's behind it, it just becomes special.” 01:07:02 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature You Don't Have To Wait For Christmas Day by Dino Jag. The episode concludes with a celebration of South Australian musical talent, featuring an uplifting holiday song that embodies local creative spirit, first featured in episode 174 back in 2016. However, in recent years, Dino created a video to go with the song, so get this ready for your Christmas playlists!Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A number of years ago, poet Donika Kelly was trying to figure out how to date, when she saw a nature documentary about a bowerbird. Male Satin Bowerbirds will gather all the blue items they can find, build a beautiful structure called a bower, and do a dance to try to woo the females. Donika found herself wishing that human courtship had such a clear structure, and wrote a series of poems inspired by the bowerbird. Learn more at BirdNote.org.

In this episode, we discussed: Why it's essential to develop a positive mindset around marketing and sales, and why viewing marketing as an extension of your design process will help you to enjoy it more and make it easier to prioritise in your busy schedule.

The challenges architects face when we get too busy, and what you can focus on today to prevent these issues from overwhelming your firm in the months ahead. How to ensure you're developing your strategic long-term vision for your practice, rather than just reacting to day-to-day issues and demanding clients.

This week let's learn about two birds of New Guinea, bowerbirds and the Victoria crowned pigeon! Both are beautiful and the bowerbird is kind of weird. Thanks to M Is for Awesome for the suggestion! Further Reading: The Women Who Removed Birds from People's Hats Various bowers made by various species of bowerbird: The golden-fronted bowerbird: Not a bowerbird but a close relation, a dead bird of paradise from New Guinea, decorating an old-timey lady's fancy hat. I would not want to put this on my head: A Victoria crowned pigeon, wearing a built-in fancy hat: A Victoria crowned pigeon baby. Such miniature floof: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. This week we are finally going to look at some birds of New Guinea, a topic suggested ages ago by M Is for Awesome! There are so many weird and amazing birds in New Guinea that instead of trying to talk about a bunch of them very briefly in one episode, I’m going to make this another ongoing series throughout the year. Every so often we’ll revisit New Guinea (in our minds, anyway) and learn about a few more birds. In this episode we’ll learn some basic information about New Guinea and then learn about two really interesting birds that live there. New Guinea comes up in lots of episodes because so many animals live there. It’s almost the world’s largest island, second only to Greenland. Australia is considered a continent, not an island. New Guinea is actually pretty close to Australia so there’s a lot of overlap between animals that live in Australia and animals that live in New Guinea. A big reason New Guinea has so many animals is its geography. It has everything from ridiculously high mountains with glaciers to lowland rainforests, savannas, wetlands, mangrove forests, rivers, lakes, alpine tundra, and coral reefs off the coast. About the only thing it doesn’t have is a desert. Most of the island is warm and humid with lots of rain. Of course people live in New Guinea too, and have for at least 40,000 years, possibly as long as 60,000 years. Back then, New Guinea was connected to Australia by a land bridge similar to the one that has connected North America with Asia when sea levels were low. Some of the earliest humans to migrate out of Africa settled in New Guinea, and the people there developed agriculture independently of the people who settled in the Middle East. More people arrived much later, only around 3,500 years ago, from parts of Asia. But because the land is so hard to navigate due to the mountains and rivers and so forth, people who moved to a new part of the island were largely isolated from the people in other parts. Some 7,000 languages are spoken on the island right up to the present day, with several hundred more languages once spoken. Unfortunately, as happens so often, after European explorers discovered the island in the 16th century, they decided they would like to have it for themselves. So they took it, which is just rude. The eastern half of the island is now independent as of 1975, called Papua New Guinea, while the western half, usually just called Papua, is now part of Indonesia. Indonesia is an Asian country and unfortunately, they’re being just as bad to the indigenous people of the area as Europeans were. There are still lots of places in New Guinea that scientists haven’t explored, mostly in the mountains, and undoubtedly lots and lots of animals and birds that are completely unknown to science. Some of the animals and birds of the mountains may never have been seen by any person at all. M specifically wanted us to cover bowerbirds, so let’s start with them. Bowerbirds live in Australia and New Guinea along with a few smaller islands, with twenty species known. You may have heard about them before, because a male bowerbird builds what’s called a bower and decorates it with items he selects to attract a female.

Bowerbird courtship is unique and elaborate. Both males and females give a lot of energy to find a successful match, whether this be for construction or selection. The combination of decorations and a bower arch allow for visual acuity of quality that allow for a partnership to have healthier offspring.

I’m excited to share this interview with Ben Morgan, an expert on architectural journalism and the co-founder of Bowerbird. Bowerbird is a platform for architects and interior designers to upload projects and share them with the media. In this interview, Ben shares loads of helpful insight and advice for architects. Much of the conversation revolves around how architects can get into mainstream media, the need to inform the public on the value of good architecture, how to talk about yourself and your projects, and what to do to connect with editors and freelancers. Ben shares his idea of the “continuum of unique and sexy,” meaning that journalist interest is piqued when your work is either unusual or beautiful. He also notes that architects should be thinking about content throughout the entirety of a project, consistently do PR and marketing work, and give as much information to journalists as possible (including information about clients and budgets when possible!). As you tell your story in a genuine way and faithfully chip away at marketing, architectural media and marketing will slowly but surely become less daunting.

Nic Granleese is a self-proclaimed "recovering architect" who is now the CEO of BowerBird. BowerBird is an online platform that makes it easy to submit your architecture to 1487 magazines, newspapers & websites. Today, Nic pulls back the curtain on his entrepreneurial journey, sharing valuable and hard-won tips and lessons you can use in your architectural journey. Early in his career, Nic took a year to explore what successful architects did to achieve their success. He discovered that the architects who had fulfilling practices had something in common. Listen to this episode to discover what Nic discovered, and how he has applied his business learnings through the years to eventually co-found BowerBird with his partner, Ben Morgan.   ► Subscribe to my YouTube Channel for updates: https://www.youtube.com/c/BusinessofArchitecture ******* For more free tools and resources for running a profitable, impactful and fulfilling practice, connect with me on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessofarchitecture Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enoch.sears/ Website: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BusinessofArch Podcast: http://www.businessofarchitecture.com/podcast/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/business-architecture-podcast/id588987926 Android Podcast Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/BusinessofArchitecture-podcast ******* Access the FREE Architecture Firm Profit Map video here: http://freearchitectgift.com Download the FREE Architecture Firm Marketing Process Flowchart video here: http://freearchitectgift.com Come to my next live, in-person event: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/live Carpe Diem!

NO KIDS ALLOWED! It says explicit for a reason. But also in this episode you join me, zookeeper Deidre, as we talk a walk on the sexy side of two animals. This weird animal episode is going to get very kinky and sexy (or as my inner scientist would say; mating and reproduction). The leopard (not a cheetah), but a leopard is very sexy (MEOW!). And technically Black Panther was a leopard; and a sexy cat he was. So dress up in your flyest leopard print outfit and put the kids to bed as you have some alone time.Also BIRDS!! The satin bowerbird. You know the ones from those David Attenborough shows. They are very flashy, beautiful, bright , bird feathers so to put the ladies in the mood (better known as bowerbird mating). Oh and they have a fancy nest; but its really all about those feathers.**BONUS: Song at the end of this episode!

On this episode, Dr. Mary Ellen Dello Stritto is joined by Patrick Aldrich. Patrick received his bachelor’s degree in Wildlife biology and a minor in Entomology from the University of California, Davis. After graduation, he spent 5 years in various field biology positions, studying a wide array subjects from Bowerbird mating systems in Australia to integrated pest management of ground squirrels in Northern California. He subsequently decided to return to school to pursue a PhD at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, where he studied the spatio-temporal variation of pollination networks in Hawaiian tropical dry forests. Following his graduate work, he was the project director for a project that used spatial analyses to study the random correspondence of fingerprint patterns. Through his work, he has acquired extensive experience in biostatistics. He is currently the data manager and statistician for the Oregon Quality Rating and Improvement System for early childhood and other projects at The Research Institute at Western Oregon University. He continues to apply parametric, non-parametric and likelihood methodologies to analyze various datasets associated with early childhood and educational research.

Today’s guest is Geoff Lewis, the co-founder of one of Australia’s leading home staging companies, Bowerbird Interiors, based in Sydney. Geoff and his wife Lauren started the business like most of us do, working out of their house, and built it into the size it is today. We talk about a unique service that Bowerbird has brought to the market, which many in the industry considered controversial and even reckless, but which Geoff explains was an extremely considered approach. That service is something they call Bowerbird Black, and is essentially no sale, no fee home staging. So if the house doesn’t sell, the client doesn’t pay. We ask about the success of the service, some of the issues, and what COVID-19 has done to both Bowerbird Black, and Bowerbird as a business.

The Listies go to the Museum is an almost educational podcast tour of the Melbourne museum for kids aged 4-400. This episode is choc-a-block full of home decorating tips from The Listies' flappy friend, Errol the bowerbird. Melbourne Museum audio guide notes: When in Milarri Garden, follow the path around the top of the garden and head along the walkway to the top doors and into the Forest Gallery. The Bowerbird nest is just next to the old brick chimney.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we sit down with Melanie Scamman and Laura Zoulamis, founders of Bowerbird Design Collective.

This is the last part of the San Diego series. Two recordings from San Diego Zoo, one from behind the flamingo pen where me and Brianna fed the flamingos dog soaked in water (the watery tchick-tchick-tchick sound is the flamingos feeding).

The species in the aviary are: Bali Mynah, Black-naped Fruit-dove, Black-naped Oriole, Chinese Hwamei, Collared Finchbill, Collared Imperial Pigeon, Collared Imperial-pigeon, Collared Lory, Cotton Pygmy Goose, Dollarbird, Eclectus Parrot, Edward’s Pheasant, Emerald Dove, Fairy Bluebird, Fawn-breasted Bowerbird, Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush, Iris Lorikeet, Lesser Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Malay Great Argus Pheasant, Mariana Fruit-dove, Metallic Pigeon,Metallic Starling, Nicobar Pigeon, Papuan Mountain-pigeon, Red-billed Malkoha, Red-tailed Laughing Thrush, Spotted Laughing Thrush, Sulawesi Green Imperial-pigeon, Victoria Crowned Pigeon, White-bellied Imperial-pigeon, White-breasted Kingfisher, White-breasted Wood Swallow, White-eared Bulbul, White-eared Catbird, White-rumped Shama, and White-throated Ground-dove. Also in this episode is tecolote (owl in Spanish) canyon, which was around where we stayed. My parents and I went for a hike around sunrise, so birds were super active then too.

Is this bird an artist? They sing, they dance, they do imitations, and they build insane structures... But is it art? Come learn about the incredible abilities of MacGregor's bowerbird, find out about the science of sexual selection, and ponder the nature and origin of art, all on this episode of Species.   Bibliography   Donate

Para os entrevistados deste episódio do Ciência USP, inteligência não é exclusividade do Homo sapiens. Mas fazer essa afirmação não é algo sem problemas. O tema da inteligência dos outros animais ainda é permeado por polêmicas. Principalmente porque tudo pode mudar de acordo com a definição de inteligência que for adotada. Apesar da polêmica envolvendo o assunto, alguns exemplos animais do uso de cognição para resolver problemas saltam aos olhos. E todos eles têm origens na evolução, na cultura e no desenvolvimento individual. A primatóloga Patrícia Izar, professora do Instituto de Psicologia (IP) da USP, conta que os macacos-prego desenvolveram sistemas diferentes de navegação e localização de acordo com os ecossistemas em que vivem. Na Mata Atlântica, em São Paulo, um grupo de macacos-prego é capaz de criar atalhos para chegar às fontes de alimentos saindo de qualquer ponto de partida. Em uma área de transição entre Cerrado e Caatinga no sul do Piauí, eles usam rotas fixas. Em contrapartida, também usam ferramentas, coisa que não acontece em São Paulo. Pós-doutorando no IP, Marco Varella lembra do exemplo impressionante de uma família de aves na Austrália que tem um senso estético bastante apurado. Os machos constroem ninhos coloridos e elaborados para atrair as fêmeas, que são extremamente criteriosas na hora de julgar a arte dos machos. Varella estuda as origens das propensões artísticas humanas e defende que, quando colocamos o homem no centro de tudo, corremos o risco de não perceber que existem semelhanças, continuidades e gradações nos comportamentos e habilidades de diferentes espécies. Recentemente, ele publicou uma revisão científica sobre a nossa capacidade de antropomorfizar fenômenos naturais, objetos e outros animais. E, ainda, neste episódio… O Cern (da antiga sigla em francês para Organização Europeia para a Pesquisa Nuclear) é a sede do maior experimento científico do mundo, o Grande Colisor de Hádros (LHC). A editora de ciências do Jornal da USP, Luiza Caires, visitou em julho este importante centro de pesquisa localizado na fronteira da Suíça com a França e conta como são as coisas lá dentro.

We’re not big into euphemisms. This episode is all about birds having sex. With so many different bird species in the world, it’s no wonder that there are hundreds of different ways birds attract, court, and lock down a mating partner. In addition to “doing the birdie dirty,” learn about the clever, generous, and romantic ways birds woo a mate. Maybe you’ll pick up some great courtship moves, like the Great Crested Grebe tango, the Red-Capped Manakin moonwalk, the free fallin’ Bald Eagle death spiral…ok, maybe not that last one unless you’re into some seriously kinky sh*t. One thing’s for certain: human courtship will look preeeeetty boring after this. Prepare to start nesting.

There’s a mom crisis in the US. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that about 700 women die every year in the US during pregnancy or after childbirth. Those numbers are up about 75% from the year 2000, worse than other high-income countries, and black and Native American women are most affected. We'll explain. Then: President Trump is playing the “executive privilege” card against releasing the unredacted Mueller report...and all of the underlying material the team used to write it. Also on today’s episode: how some states are trying to help high schoolers understand money, money, money, money ... and why “zero waste” is flying high.

Lastly, during Richard's recent trip to the Arctic onboard the RRS James Clark Ross, he spoke to a scientist who explained how a small yellow submarine is helping scientists understand much more about Arctic ocean currents.
