The common green magpie (Cissa chinensis) is a member of the crow family, roughly the size of the Eurasian jay or slightly smaller. In the wild, specimens are usually a bright and lush green in colour (which often fades to turquoise in captivity or with poor diet as the pigment is carotenoid-based), slightly lighter on the underside and have a thick black stripe from the bill through the eyes to the nape. Compared to that of the other members of its genus, the white-tipped tail is quite long. This all contrasts vividly with the red fleshy eye rims, bill and legs. The wings are reddish maroon. It is found from the lower Himalayas in north eastern India in a broad south easterly band down into central Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and northwestern Borneo in evergreen forest (including bamboo forest), clearings and scrub.
