You can see the Taiwan Blue Magpie and the
Formosan Whistling-thrush in the mountain. Of all
the birds endemic to Taiwan, the Formosan Blue
Magpie is the most familiar to local people.
Adorned with an unusually long tail (black and
white segments twice the length of its body), a red
beak and blue feathers, this bird is always busy
storing food.
Similarly, the feathers of the
Formosan Whistling Thrush reflect a purplish-blue
color in the sun. It is about 11.8-12.8 inches long
and with a wing span of 6.3 inches.
