The bluebirdon your desktop.
A painted eastern bluebird for your Mac or Windows desktop, one of six Deskiee birds.
What it looks like
A male eastern bluebird: bright blue on the head, back and wings, a rusty orange throat and breast, and a white belly.
What it does all day
The bluebird walks along the bottom of your screen, flies up to the top edge of a window you have open and stands there. Move the window and it rides along; close it and it drops off and finds somewhere else. Drag it to carry it, or tap a rhythm and it sings it back.
Its own moves
- When it is dizzy its wings hang loose.
With chirps switched on (they start off), it has its own call and song, modelled on the real bird's.
The real bird
Eastern bluebirds are small thrushes of eastern North America.
They nest in holes in trees, and readily use nest boxes.
