Meet the Asian Fairy-bluebird (Irena puella)! It lives in tropical forests in Southeast Asia, such as those in Indonesia and Thailand. To distinguish a male from a female, check the plumage: males have a bold, contrasting black and blue pattern, while females are mostly a lighter blue with some black on the wings. This bird munches on small fruits and insects and is infamous among coffee farmers for its tendency to snack on the fruits of coffee trees.
