Description
FAIRY BLUE BIRD (Irena puella puella)
A lively vivacious bird which lives in the forests of southern India and Ceylon - haunting high fruit - bearing trees; often in small flocks. In the midday heat they descend to the stream sides to drink and bathe. They are constantly on the move - and utter a pretty bubbling call every few seconds. Fruit. nectar and insects are their food. The nest is placed in a sapling growing in the deep shade of taller trees; it is a shallow saucer of roots - twigs and grass stems - mixed with mosses. Two eggs are laid. Length of adult about 10 inches.
This is probably a female they are less colourful than the males!! ..
