Habitat and Geographical Distribution: Asia
Diet: Prefer to feed on insects and other small invertebrates, but they can also eat seeds and fruits.
Reproduction: At the time of reproduction the female lays 4 to 8 eggs with an incubation period of 28 days. The male mates with several females, and emits a characteristic cry to announce its presence. The male does not participate in the construction of the nest or in the caring for the young.
Behaviour: In the breeding season the male, which has a magnificent bright blue body, displays his fan-shaped tail to impress females. Females, of a brownish colour and with a much shorter tail, choose a partner based on its appearance. The male parades before the female, shaking its tail that is erect and fanned for a more impressive effect.
Conservation status: LC (Least Concern)
