The Indochinese green magpie, or yellow-breasted magpie, is a small, colourful bird native to the forests of China and Vietnam, about 35cm long, with the unique fluorescent plumage of its genus. Its body is mostly green, and those with a yellow underbelly are the southern populations in South-east Asia; the Chinese population still has a green underbelly. One lived 18 years in captivity (Wikipedia, general species account).
It stays in its native range all year and does not migrate, and has been spotted alone, in pairs or in small groups. It has a mainly carnivorous diet (Wikipedia, general species account).
