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.[1] It was formerly included as a subspecies of the Javan green magpie, but under the common name Short-tailed Green Magpie.[1] Uniquely among the green magpies, the Bornean green magpie has whitish eyes (dark reddish-brown in the other species).[1]
It dwells in thick vegetation in the mid and upper storeys of forests, and makes only short flights.[2]
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.[3]
