Wordless Wednesday
At first this looks like a cute photo of a bunch of small birds gathered on a tree branch doesn’t it? Well it is a cute photo.
Take a closer look though … two of the birds are an odd color. They are very blue. I have no idea if the birds are all the same species and if the colorful ones are just males of the species, or if there are two different types of birds on the branch.
What do you think? Does anyone know what type of birds these might be?

“Hey guys? Why so blue?”
jenny says
i’m not sure what type of birds they are…but they sure looks cute sticking together like that! i love the colors of the male ones!
Nicky says
There’s 2 different species of bird there. You’ve got male and female zebra finches: the males are ones with the orange cheeks and spotted and striped plumage; the females are plain grey.
The blue ones are a different species, but I don’t know what unfortunately.. sorry!
Brian says
I don’t know what species that is either. Probably the blue ones are the males.
Donna says
mighty peculiar! Cute though.
michelle says
Sorry, Im not gonna be able to help you out! But I do love the coloring of the blue ones better! Mine’s up!
Leigh says
My guess is the blue ones are male. But great pic!
Bobbie says
Don’t know breed, but wonder if they are captive birds like I’ve seen in some large houses.
They sure are cute!!
Happy WW ^..^

I’ve never seen a photo encapsulate such a common saying so well! It’s fantastic!
Debi says
Zebra finches for sure. I’m pretty sure the blue ones are “Cordon Bleu” finches (native to equatorial Africa).
TeaMouse says
What a stunning pic. Happy WW!
Debbie says
I don’t have a clue what kind of birds these are, but I really like them. That’s one thing we never tire of seeing in the winter… birds at our feeders.
Happy WW!

Poor things look like they are going to freeze.

That’s a really cute picture. I guess birds like to snuggle, too:-)
