Do you know why a bluebird's feathers are blue?

This bluebird feather only looks blue when light shines on it & is refracted in the feather structures, similar to why the sky is blue!

@Earlhamcollege1847 prof Wendy Tori studies bluebirds today, continuing a long legacy at EC!

Does this mushroom remind you of anything? Its common name is “turkey tail” because of its close resemblance to its namesake’s hind feathers. Some traits that set it apart from other fungi? It has no stalk and has pores instead of gills.🍄🦃🍄
