FEATHERS



"In some species the colors and markings of the male can have a direct impact on how attractive he is to a female, and his mating success. In a few isolated cases the roles may reverse, with the male duck looking for clues to a female's value as a mate by evaluting the coloration of her feathers." One method of bird mating by feather coloration, just as the robotic birds in the sculpture seem to try to attract the human with colorful metal feathers. The spectacle is meant to be entertaining and (to birds) sexually arousement. The man may have built the machine simply for pleasure.

Oh Look! A colorful distracting chicken! WHEEEEEEEE! This is for Duncan's response/post.
