The animal on the cover of Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is a bluebird (genus Sialia, family Turdidae) Although they are predominantly blue in

color, bluebirds can have vivid shades of red dispersed throughout their plumage Unlike other species of birds, no discernible difference exists in the color patterns of male and female bluebirds

The birds are territorial by nature and favor open grasslands with scattered trees Males will identify nest sites among the trees and will try to attract prospective mates by singing, flapping their wings, and then depositing some material within the cavities of those trees If a female accepts the male’s entreaties and one of the nesting sites, she alone will build the nest for the home

Bluebirds are unique to North America, and bird lovers often attract them to their backyards with feeders full of darkling beetles and mealworms Bluebirds are also fond

of eating raisins soaked in water and bathing in heated birdbaths

The bird is popularly thought of as a symbol of optimism, although occasionally this symbolism goes into shadowier terrain

Some dream interpreters say the image of a dead bluebird represents disillusionment,

a loss of innocence, and a transition from a younger, more nạve self to a wiser one, while the image of a live bluebird represents spiritual joy and contentedness, or a

long-ing for such a state Judy Garland’s character Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz perhaps

exemplifies this longing when she sings about happy little bluebirds in the song

“Somewhere over the Rainbow.”
