Green Magpie
The Green Magpie (Cissa chinensis) is a vibrant, medium-sized bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia, including parts of the Himalayas, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its striking green plumage, bright red beak, legs, and eye-rings make it a standout species. However, in captivity, the bird's green feathers can turn blue due to a lack of certain nutrients. The Green Magpie is a skilled hunter, feeding on insects, small mammals, reptiles, and occasionally fruits. Known for its intelligence and social behavior, it often lives in small family groups, making it a fascinating and colorful species of the Asian forests.
