The Mousebirds have gotten their name because they move in trees and shrubbery in a jerky and jumpy way, much like a mouse. The different species are usually gray-brown, thin, slender, and with an extremely long tail. They also always have a crested head and a strong bill. They subsist on tree fruits, berries, buds, leaves and flowers. This is a Blue-naped mousebird. In the picture you can distinguish the blue neck spot that has given it its name. You may imagine the opposing, powerful claws that allow this individual to hang in the thin branches and get access to the yellow-green berries. However, the characteristic red-black beak is clearly visible!
