The Most Colorful birds On the Earth


The world we live in is painted in so many beautiful colors and some of them are spread on the wings and feathers of the most beautiful birds.
The winged wonders carry perhaps the largest variety of color combinations and seeing them displayed in their natural habitat can only make you wonder whether they are built to wear those amazing colors in order to fit the environment or simply because the evolution saw fit to paint them so they will bejewel the forests of the world.
