Information

Ribbon-Tailed Bird / Shoudainiao :
The ribbon-tailed bird is in fact two different birds, the male Asian paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi) and the red-billed blue magpie (Urocissa erythorhyncha). The ribbon-tailed bird is sometimes called the longevity-bird because the ribbon (Shou) is a pun for longevity (Shou).
