The alpine accentor lives at higher altitudes than any other bird in Taiwan. Perhaps living so long in the mountains, it knows not the ways of the world. Unlike the birds of lower altitudes, it is curious and trustful of people. In the eyes of the photographers taking their pictures, it's a friendly bird.
岩鷚是台灣分佈最高海拔的鳥類，許是久處深山，不知世事，與低海拔鳥類不同的是，牠對人類仍存有好奇與信任，在拍鳥者眼中，是較可親，不易被鏡頭嚇跑的鳥兒。
