Asian Fairy-bluebird

Lacedo pulchella

The Asian Fairy-bluebird (Lacedo pulchella) is a striking bird found in the forests of South and Southeast Asia. The male is a vibrant, iridescent blue with black wings, while the female is a more subdued greenish-blue. These birds are known for their melodious calls and are often spotted foraging for fruits and insects in the canopy. They are monogamous and form small family groups during the breeding season. The Asian Fairy-bluebird plays an important role in seed dispersal and contributes to the health of the forest ecosystem.
