Amazing Bird Photos from Taiwan


Audubon and Edward Lear just don't quite cut it when you're researching birds for that Chinoiserie mural you've been asked to paint. Yeah, those guys could paint, but they're just not exotic enough. Here are hundreds of amazing photographs of native Taiwanese birds that are perfect reference material for that De Gournay hand-painted wallpaper you're working on, or just for some trippy blown-out Photoshop fun.

  2. I was born in Taiwan (and have family there)...I had NO idea the native birds were so colorful. I adore the chartreuse ones with the white ring around their eyes, and the fluffy one in the last pic. Lovely photos!
