  Fairy-bluebird   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The two fairy-bluebirds are small passerine bird species found in forests and plantations in Indonesia and The Philippines.
They are the sole members of the family Irenidae, but are related to the ioras and leafbirds.
These are bulbul-like birds of open forest or thorn scrub, but whereas that group tends to be drab in coloration, fairy-bluebirds are sexually dimorphic, with the males being dark blue in plumage, and the females duller green.

 Discover Life - Aves: Irenidae - Fairy-bluebirds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Traditionally considered related to the bulbuls (Pycnonotidae) but having some characters of drongos (Dicruridae) or cuckoo-shrikes (Campepahagidae; Austin and Singer 1961), biochemical studies suggested closer relationships to bushshrikes, helmetshrikes and vangas within Sibley and Alquist's (1990) great expanded corvine assemblage.
Sibley and Monroe (1990) placed then next to cuckoo-shrikes but also included the six species of leafbirds (genus Chloropsis) in the family Irenidae (which name then takes precedence over Chloropseidae) and that approach was followed by Clements (1991).
Taxonomic relationships of these Asian families remain uncertain and controversial but the Handbook of the Birds of the World project apparently will treat both the Irenidae and Chloropseidae as separate families.
