Nature: So, what shade of blue would you like to be? Splendid Fairy-wren: Yes #urbanNature #wildOz 🪶🌏🐦

A male Splendid Fairy-wren, Malurus splendens perched on a grey stone wall. The intense blues of his plumage glow against a drab brown background. The bird has a shiny royal blue head, tail and back, with a deeper shade of blue on its belly. The primary feathers are a teal colour. The velvety black of the bird's nape and bib stand out and enhance the tiny pale blue feathers on its cheek (the ear coverts).

It's really interesting to me how few warm blooded animals are blue in any way
