Description
The Bornean green magpie (Cissa jefferyi) is a passerine bird in the crow family, Corvidae. It is endemic to montane forests on the southeast Asian island of Borneo. It was formerly included as a subspecies of the Javan green magpie, but under the common name Short-tailed Green Magpie. Uniquely among the green magpies, the Bornean green magpie has whitish eyes (dark reddish-brown in the other species). It dwells in thick vegetation in the mid and upper storeys of forests, and makes only short flights. The Bornean green magpie builds an open cup nest of sticks in the canopy. The Bornean green magpie has a rather harsh call; a reminder that they are passerine birds which belong to the crow family Corvidae. 
Feeding Habits
Bornean Green Magpie primarily feeds on snails, a variety of insects, larvae, and occasionally small frogs and snakes. Typically forages alone or in small groups, from ground litter to upper canopy, often near the treeline on moss-covered trunks.
Habitat
The bornean Green Magpie inhabits montane forests, characterized by dense tree cover and a complex understory, often with moss-covered trees and a rich biodiversity. These forests typically experience cool, moist conditions due to their highland environment. Bornean Green Magpie is found in broader geographical regions characterized by such ecosystems, rather than any specific locale.
