In the warm savannas and open woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa, this sky-blue jewel flits among grasses with gentle precision. It feeds on tiny seeds and minute insects, choosing each morsel with soft, deliberate care. What makes it extraordinary is its subtle harmony with the land — by dispersing seeds and signaling healthy grasslands, it helps sustain the delicate balance of its dry homeland. Small and radiant, yet a patient gardener of the savanna.
