The most notable are bluebirds, blue jays, and peacocks (partly). Also:

Little Blue Heron

Blue Grosbeak

Shining Blue Kingfisher

Azure Kingfisher

Blue-banded Kingfisher

Little Kingfisher

Lilac-breasted Roller

European Roller

Indian Roller

Blue-tailed Bee-eater

Swallow-tailed Bee-eater

Great Tit

Azure Tit

European species: Blue Tit, Common Kingfisher, Blue throat.

North American species: Eastern bluebird, western bluebird, mountain bluebird, peacocks, painted bunting, indigo bunting, blue jay, scrub jay, Steller's jay, barn swallow, tree swallow, cliff swallow, peafowl.

*Note: Not all birds that look blue have blue coloration. The Indigo Bunting (as one example), appears as a brilliant, iridescent blue in the sunlight. However, if viewed in the shade, it will be charcoal grey in color. There is absolutely no blue pigment in the feathers and the blue seen by the human eye comes only from the refraction of sunlight through the bunting's feathers.
