  The blue colour is best observed from behind.

 that measure 7.5 - 8 inches (19 - 20 cm) in length and weigh about 2.3 oz (65 grams)
They are monogamous, establishing firm bonds that last a lifetime. They build flimsy nests out of sticks in the branches of trees or shrub well hidden in dense green foliage
