Red-billed Blue Magpie (Scientific Latin Name: Urocissa erythroryncha), a large bird of the family Crow, is 54-65 cm long, with red on the mouth and feet and black on the head, neck, throat and chest. There is a white to a pale blue-white or purplish gray patch from the top of the head to the back of the neck, and the rest of the upper body purplish blue gray or pale blue gray. The long tail is convex with black subterminal spots and white spots. The lower body is white. The appearance and plumage of the yellow-billed blue magpie are very similar to that of this species, but the yellow-billed blue magpie has a yellow beak, and the head only has white patches. Their differences are clear, so it is not hard to identify them in the wild. It produces a variety of noisy calls and whistles, which are common and widely distributed in forest margins, shrublands and even villages. It likes noisy and lives in small groups. It has been often observed to look for fruits, small birds and their eggs, and insects on the ground.
