The Green Magpie is a stunning, long-tailed corvid found across Southeast Asia. It is renowned for its brilliant lime-green plumage and striking red bill.
Where to spot

How to spot
Look for its unmistakable bright green plumage (which can fade to turquoise in captivity), prominent red bill, and black eye-stripe. Listen for its loud, varied, and often harsh calls. It can be elusive in dense foliage.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours, often seen in small groups.

The intense green plumage of this magpie is unique among most corvids and helps it blend into the dense tropical forest canopy.
