    Here in Borneo we have something similar, called the Bornean Black Magpie. Really amazing how convergent evolution work. Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

      Oh nice I'd never heard of that species! Of course the Bornean Green Magpie tends to get most of the attention! Posted 4 years ago

        Oh actually the Bornean Black Magpie and Bornean Green Magpie are different species. It is the Bornean Black Magpie that looks more like yours. Posted 4 years ago

          Haha yes I know, that's what I meant! I was saying that the Green seems to be more popular with bird photographers as I often see photos of it, but I had never heard of the Black! Posted 4 years ago

            Oh yeah I get what you meant now. For sure the Greens are more popular. From where I live we only have the Black magpie since the Green Magpies are highland species. Posted 4 years ago
