The Formosan Blue Magpie, also called as the Taiwan Magpie or the "long-tailed mountain lady" is a member of the Crow family. It is an endemic species living in the mountains of Taiwan at elevations of 300 to 1200m.
In 2007 National Bird Voting Campaign held by Taiwan International Birding Association, there were over 1 million votes cast from 53 countries. Formosan Blue Magpie defeated Mikado Pheasant and was chosen as Taiwan's national bird, though it has yet to be formally accepted.
Thank you Kevin for the beautiful bird card and nice stamp.
