Meet Mountain Bluebird, A Breathtaking Little Bird With Sky Blue Plumage (Pics & Video)

There are many spectacular passerine birds in nature. They are gifted one-of-their-kind coats, helping them win the spotlight whenever they appear. True blue pigmentation is rare in nature, and yet, when it comes to light, it’s the most commonly reflected hue. It’s the color of the sky, the water, and gives a feeling of calm and serenity. There is something really special about bluebirds, see the wonderful gallery below.

Their call is a thin 'few'; while their song is warbled high 'chur chur'. It is the state bird of Idaho and Nevada. It is an omnivore and it can live 6 to 10 years in the wild. It eats spiders, grasshoppers, flies and other insects, and small fruits. The mountain bluebird is a relative of the eastern and western bluebirds. These magnificent birds hover over the ground and fly down to catch insects, also flying from a perch to catch them. They mainly eat insects and berries. They may forage in flocks in winter, when they mainly eat grasshoppers. Mountain Bluebirds will come to a platform feeder with live meal worms, berries, or peanuts.
