Characteristics of Colors in Birds

Most bird species have sexual dimorphism, which is a characteristic where males and females are easily differentiated. For one apparent reason, males appear to be more colorful and dazzling than females: to attract females during mating.

Colorful Feathers

A) On the one hand, bird pigments create gorgeous feathers. Melanin, carotenoid, and porphyrin are such pigments. Colors range from pale yellow to reddish-brown to darkest black, and the pigment melanin is responsible for these colors. Colors range from bright yellow to orangish-yellow, thanks to the pigment carotenoid. In certain cases, melanin and carotenoid combine to create an olive-green hue. Lastly, brown, vivid red, pink, and green are all colors produced by pigment porphyrin.

B) The structure of the feathers, on the other hand, is what causes different feather colors. When the light is refracted by the proteins found in feathers, instead of pigments, colors are created. There are three different structural feathers:

Iridescent Feathers: Iridescent feathers can change their color at different viewing angles.
Non-iridescent Feathers: Non-iridescent feathers can change from blue to brown depending on the light conditions.
Ultraviolet Feathers: Ultraviolet feathers can reflect light found within the ultraviolet range.

Henceforth, listed below are the 26 most beautiful birds of the world in the Class Aves (birds) of the Animal Kingdom with Phylum as Chordata.

You can see the IUCN red list categories for each of these colorful birds listed below which represents the vulnerability of the species at present. This ranges from Extinct to Least Concern.

List of Colorful Birds

And here we go! Colorful birds! This is where you’ll be welcome.

1. Red-necked Tanager

Endemic to Eastern South America, the red necked tanager appears to be very bright with its yellow-orange wings, bright red chin, deep blue crown and lower neck, and a brilliant green underneath.

These colourful birds are known to reside in the canopy of forests and are characterized by their sharp “sip” sounding voices.
Generally, the red-necked Tanager molts (sheds its feathers) once in a year.

2. Mandarin Duck

This native from China (hence the name) and Japan, this duck shows a wide range of hues including blue, green, copper, and silver. It is regarded as the world’s most beautiful duck.

Although both sexes of the duck have a crest, male ducks have a more pronounced structure, which is presumably utilized to attract females during mating.
In addition to that, males appear to be golden in appearance.

3. Blue Crowned Pigeon

Also known as the Western crowned pigeon, the blue crowned pigeon is characterized by having large blue crests in the head, and deep blue feathers around the eyes.

Western crowned pigeons are very large pigeons and in fact considered as one of the “fairest” members of the Family Columbidae (Pigeons).
Generally, like most birds in the animal kingdom, male blue crowned pigeons are larger as compared to their female counterparts.
These colorful birds are native to Papua New Guinea and they tend to be dispersed in the rains-forests of the islands.

4. Blue/Azure Kingfisher

Blue kingfishers are small to medium-sized birds with a very vivid coloration and are known to be excellent fish hunters from the riverside and occasionally above the water surface.

The feathers of kingfishers are mostly bright blue/azure (hence the name) in color.
Unlike most birds, the feather color of kingfishers is caused by the structure of the feathers themselves. Such causes the scattering of blue light and is then reflected in our eyes, making them appear blue.
The distribution pattern of kingfishers is cosmopolitan. Meaning, they occur throughout the world, even in either temperate or tropical regions.

5. Paradise Tanager

The Paradise Tanager is living up to its name, being both neotropical and colorful. With its bright apple green head, yellow or red rump (depending on species), and blue abdomen, this bird is small but very colorful in the tropical forests of South America’s Amazon basin.

The paradise tanager is a songbird that can perform a variety of pleasant musical sounds, in addition to its looks.
One disclaimer though, this bird is not found in Chile, despite its species name T. chilensis.

As their name suggests, they have yellow collar which is extended to the nape of the neck.
Interestingly enough, the males and females of this species look identical in appearance.
These colourful birds are endemic to Tanzania but were already brought to other countries like Kenya and Burundi.

9. Northern Cardinal

Northern Cardinalis, a songbird with a striking red and black face mask that extends up to the upper chest, is endemic to both North and South America.

The brown to grayish color of this bird species’ females is contrasted with crimson tones in their wings.
Male Northern Cardinals have more defined face masks.
Both boys and girls have the same color as adult women at a young age. However, when the season changes, they typically replace their worn feathers with new ones.
The Roman Catholic Church’s cardinals, who are often dressed in red hats and robes, gave the name to this bird (both scientific and common name).

10. Curl-crested Aracari
