actually, probably not very happy at all, unless he manages to get off the train at the same stop he got on. they are very social birds and like to hang around with their own flock of 10-30 birds.
OK, as my wife will tell you, I’m awful at identifying birds (this comes up surprisingly often when trying to match sightings with bird guides at home), but isn’t the zoo’s sign for a Taiwan / Formosan blue magpie (which I often see on hillsides in Danshui), rather than a Mikado pheasant?
No, the sign was on a different cage, l didn’t shoot the bird because it was in the back, and it didn’t look like a blue magpie. Sorry for being confusing…
