Feathers are dark and light blue.

The blue hue of their wings casts a wonderful blue glow while flying.

This bird prefers to stay in open spaces.
From a high place, he quietly looks around the ground.
He glances around the ground from a high point.
The sharp-sighted bird swoops down in search of food.
Butterflies, grasshoppers, lizards, crickets, etc. are its favorite food.
