Malurus cyaneus

The superb fairywren is a common passerine bird found throughout southeastern Australia, recognized for its striking sexual dimorphism, with males in breeding plumage displaying bright blue and black colors. This sedentary and territorial species exhibits unique social behaviors, forming socially monogamous pairs while engaging in promiscuous mating, and thrives in various habitats, including urban environments and gardens, primarily feeding on insects and seeds.
