Although a Parrot, this pretty bird's name is "Blue Bird". Not a wild bird (the only non wild bird in this gallery), "Blue Bird" lives at the Kansas City Zoo and is part of their very small Bird Show.
Nevertheless, "Blue Bird" does have relatives in the wild with her same, gorgeous, vivid blue coloring.
