Neat-looking bird! The male certainly lives up to the billing of ‘superb’. It’s kind of funny to me how plain (for lack of better word) the body is compared to the area around the head and the tail. As if some hypothetical creator lazily slapped an exciting face and tail on a standard bird body and called it a day :P

The Splendid (as opposed to the Superb) Fairywren has you covered!
Wowza, what a bird that is! I like the violet version best. Super cool, thanks!!
We have a few hanging around Western Sydney, easily my favourite bird. They have such a vibrant colour, and I love seeing them hop around.
