Purple sparrow resides in Australia in the eastern tropical rainforest, when the young adult maturity is the mating season just arrived, it starts building a nest to propose. First of all, it flew up into the air to choose "land", which was a place that was not so dark, cleared about 1 meter, took each bundle of trees into a road shaded into the house a few dozen cm long. Then start to build houses, choose the young green leaves, blue flowers, yellow flowers, blue berries and parrot bird feathers to decorate. Many times it also made glass marbles, colored buttons, woolen and tinsel yarn to decorate its house. It attaches blue succulent wild fruits to the interior. Doors open to the south to catch the sun. The space in front of the door is covered with fine grass, inside of all the "handicrafts" , collected: leaves, flowers, fruits, mushrooms, quartz, forks, scissors, eyeglasses, money, seashells, . That is the capital it has saved in the process of understanding. When the flowers and fruits dry up, they found something else instead. He tried his best to collect as much as possible, even stealing from the enemy.

When the female came to the house, it twisted, excited to dance around the house to show off the beauty of the house, and dance a lovely marriage proposal, taking the beak to show off one by one, until the female child fell in love, compare with the "new marriage" place.

The "wedding room" of the sparrow is only for "marriage" , and the birthplace for the child is the next nest built by the female. It was a cup-shaped nest, built on a vacant land or on a tree branch a few hundred meters from the wedding room. At that time they were "divorced", the one-sided female suffered all the work of raising children, and the male child became busy with the construction of the wedding room, seducing another female.
