Today I present you the SUBLIME Taiwan Blue Magpie!

While beautiful, they are not afraid of people and they have strong nest defense behavior. According to locals, it is not uncommon for them to swoop down onto humans from trees and peck their heads!

@JeanPhilippe awesome photo, but for some reason my diseased brain read the caption as Norwegian Blue and now I keep imagining Michael Palin repeatedly saying "boootiful plumage!"

I love these birds! They're totally badass!

I came across one snacking on a cobra!

They've never attacked me. I saw a group of 5 yesterday.

@JeanPhilippe It’d be someone’s viral video, if one did that to me. Dogs would howl in the next town over, because my screaming would carry that far.
