The Blue-naped Mousebird (Urococliius macrourus), one of six mousebird species, has a turquoise-blue nape patch on its crested head. Characteristic of mousebirds, the blue-naped mousebird has widely spaced and large feet for its body size, which are pamprodactylous; they are able to rotate all four toes to face forward at will. It lives in the semi-desert and dry regions of eastern Africa.
