Feeding Habits
Red-billed Blue Magpie consumes a varied diet including invertebrates, small animals, fruits, and seeds. It forages actively, often robbing nests for eggs and chicks. This bird exhibits unique nest-predation as a dietary adaptation.
Habitat
Red-billed Blue Magpie are predominantly found in tropical and subtropical broadleaf evergreen forests, particularly in hilly or mountainous regions. Their habitat extends across broader geographical areas including the Himalayan foothills and spreads through various parts of Eastern and Southeast Asia. These birds demonstrate adaptability to altered environments, such as parks, botanical gardens, and even urban settings including large metropolitan areas. While they are generally observed at elevations from sea level up to 2200 meters in summer, they mostly reside below 1500 meters, sharing some habitats with their close relative U. flavirostris in the Himalayas.
