Its blue colour comes from what's called structural colour, where the microscopic structures of the feathers cause constructive interference in the blue part of the em spectrum. This is also what causes that sheen when those structures are viewed from extreme angles. There are actually very few true blue pigments in the Animal Kingdom.
