Are you a seasoned birdwatcher? Do you simply enjoy listening to their songs? Or do you not pay attention to birds at all? Whatever best describes you, surely you have been impressed at least once in your life by the striking beauty of a bird's particularly colorful feathers. And contrary to what you might believe, colorful birds can't be found only in far away tropical areas. Keep your eyes (and ears!) open next you go out in nature, and you may be surprised by what you will see!

Birds are colorful not in only in appearance; they also are colorful in character! Take some time to watch the action at a feeder when it's bird lunch time, or visit someone who owns a pet bird. You will see how clever and funny they can be!
