It is found in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in regions like southern Kenya, Tanzania, and extending south into Botswana and Namibia. The Blue-naped Mousebird has a soft greenish body, with a pale blue patch on the back of its neck, giving it its name.
Primarily feeds on fruit, seeds, flowers, and occasionally insects. They are particularly fond of figs, berries, and other soft fruits. They forage in trees and shrubs, moving through the vegetation in a characteristic "mouse-like" way, which is where their name comes from. They often move sideways along branches, using their feet and beak to grip and steady themselves as they navigate.
They prefer dry, open woodlands, savannas, and areas with scattered trees and shrubs. They can often be found in areas with a mix of tall trees, dense underbrush, and a reliable water source. They are typically not found in the deep rainforest, but rather in areas with lighter, more open vegetation.
