If we were Bower birds collecting to attract mates l would have bus loads of them by now . Its also amazing what you pick up on the side of highways , either left by mistake or lost . I found a jack & socket set waiting in a rest area to travel with its new owner . We get along fine
I have a theory,
The Bower Bird collects alot of stuff to sexually arouse a potential mate.
Throughout thousands of years of evolution we share many common and genetic traits with other species.
If man has a desire to collect rubbish as part of some dormant genetic link, to the bower bird, than could the same be said of the female of our species ( Bower Bird Courtship ritual).
Could it be that women find our dormant evolutionary Bower Bird traits of collecting crap highly sexually arousing, yet when we become married they subconsciously see that habit as a threat from other competing women who may want to move in on their turf.
Is that why we are constantly getting tuned up to clean out our sheds, because we maybe displaying too much Bower Bird Sexual Prowess that married women find a threat, and other women subconsciously find a turn on.
I leave this radical yet untested theory to those of Bower Bird Gene Pool.
Are you a victims of too much sex appeal.
Maybe this thought is too radical for modern science.
