I keep seeing these blue birds with an orange belly. Birds scare the shit out of me, but these ones are really pretty. What kind are they?

Probably a bluebird, either Eastern or Western.
You gotta post where you saw it, because range is a huge factor

I live in MA so it was probably Eastern, right?

If it's a bluebird, it's an Eastern. Michigan is in its breeding range, and its that time of year.
It's tricky to tell from the picture, but is this your bird?
>>2116737
Like a pet? No, my parents like to put up bird feeders in the backyard and there's at least 3 of them. I'm just curious if they're friendly or aggressive

No, I meant is this the bird you saw. Most songbirds aren't aggressive, but jays can get nasty if you get near their nest.

Oh, yeah that's what it looks like.

One time i witnessed one of these drop dead out of the sky from 10 ft up after another bird fucked it up.
What do you think happened?
Brown Recluse.

Protecting its nest, they are protective little fucks.
Being a MD fag I guess I took knowing what a bluebird was for granted...

Oh wait nevermind I read that wrong, I don't know what would have killed it like that, just sudden trauma?

Looked like it. I didnt get a good look at the other bird but it was pretty surreal just seeing a bird literally drop out of the air and just die.
Needless to say i collected its bones and still have its skull.
