What distinguishes this painting above all from the classical Chinese genre of bird and flower painting is that artists today take the various species of Taiwan's wild birds as their subjects and venture deep into the high mountains to make firsthand observations and record birds and their surroundings to make the sketches for their paintings.
與臨摩歷代古畫、畫譜為主的花鳥畫，尤其不同的是，畫者以台灣野外的各種野生鳥類為對象，親自深入台灣高山觀察，並記錄鳥類生態，作為畫畫的藍本。
