This wonderful behaviour has only one purpose,to attract mates.It's an obsession over whch he has no control.He is using found objects to express himself.since he is surely no deep thinker,this expression must come from what we would call "the heart" making him a true artist in every sense of the word.He clearly has a very strong attraction to certain objects,shapes and colors that lacking self awareness must be driven by pure emotion.Quite a remarkable fellow.
I cant be the only one who finds this clip incredably depressing. If this artist is useing materials that are most readily found, this is incredably depressing. I mean notice that absence of attraction. Compared to organic, trash looks and is so emotionless not to mention the true end result of materialism.
I'd like to contact this bird for work with my interior design company

Gee, what did these guys do before us swell humans left our crap everywhere? Build a bower without empty yogurt cups? Unthinkable! Inconceivable!

@bdmelton91 I don't think birds think quite that deeply.
