The purple whistling (scientific name: Myophonus caeruleus) has dark blue-purple plumage, bright purple drip spots at the apex of each feather, and a black mouth and feet. The bird is black from a distance and purple at close range, inhabiting the rocks of rocky mountain streams, often moving in pairs, often chasing each other in the bushes, flying and singing, and the sound is loud and short like the sound of a piano. Feeds on the ground or in shallow water, feeding on insects and crabs, as well as berries and other plants. Breeds in April-June and nests between rock crevices, on tree forks or on beams of temples on a hill. The nest is cup-shaped and consists of moss, whisker roots, and residual leaves. Each clutch lays 4 eggs, pure green, or yellow-green, with fine red spots of varying shades. It is found in Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Southeast Asia, South Java and China.
