Blue-winged Minla

Actinodura cyanouroptera

The Blue-winged Minla is a small, colorful bird found in the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. It is known for its striking blue wings and yellow underparts. This species is often found in mixed-species flocks, foraging for insects and small fruits in the forest canopy. The Blue-winged Minla is known for its melodious calls and is often heard before it is seen. It nests in dense vegetation and is known to be a cooperative breeder, with multiple individuals helping to raise the young. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential risks to its populations.
