The bluebird is the state bird in Missouri and many others
states. It has blue feathers on top. The feathers under a
bluebird are red or red with a little orange or red. Bluebirds
usually have about three broods during spring and summer.
Females built the nests and incubate the eggs. They prefer
trees in grasslands.
El azulejo es el pajaro del estado en Missouri y muchos otros
estados. Tiene plumas azules en la parte superior. Las plumas
abajo de un azulejo son rojas o rojas con un poco de color
anaranjado u rojo. Normalmente tiene tres nidadas durante
la primavera y el verano. Las femeninas construyen los nidos y
incuban a los huevos. Prefieren arboles en las praderas.

The number of bluebirds was declining in the 1970s possibly
because of pesticides and less land for them to live on.
However there are more now. Enemies include snakes, cats,
raccoons, the Common Starling and House Sparrow. They eat
things such as wild fruits, insects, mealworms and raisins
soaked in water.
La cantidad de azulejos estuvo bajando en los 1970s
posiblemente a causa de insecticidas y menos tierra donde
pudieron vivir. Sin embargo, hay mas ahora. Los enemigos
incluyen serpientes, gatos, mapaches, los estorninos comunes
(Sturnis vulgaris) y los gorriones (Passer domesticus). Comen
cosas como frutas silvestras, insectos, larvas de escarabajos y
pasas remojadas en agua.
