this pigmentation, and they have a reasonably compact size compared to other bluebird types
AN INTERESTING OR UNUSUAL FACT
Western Bluebirds are interesting birds with lots of special qualities that make them a pleasure to observe. One fascinating reality about them is that they are often assisted by birds from other types, such as Violet-green swallows, which have actually been observed feeding Western bluebirds and safeguarding their nests.
