On June 21, 2024, at 12:10 a.m., the Kuomintang initiated the 'Blue Eagle Action' to confront the 'Green Bird Action' by the anti-amendment camp outside the Legislative Yuan. While the parliamentary debate on the amendment bill was expected to be rejected by the blue and white coalition inside, outside there was a clash between supporters and opponents of the amendment, represented by the 'Green Bird' and 'Blue Eagle.' Democratic Progressive Party legislator Wu Si-yao emphasized that the Green Bird Action was autonomously organized by citizens without intervention from the DPP, while the KMT mobilized various grassroots organizations by using tour buses to support their cause. The confrontation arose due to a controversial amendment bill, and as both sides gathered outside the Legislative Yuan to voice their opinions, the Blue Eagle campaign faced criticism for misspelling 'BLUE' as 'BLIUE' in their promotional video, which was later corrected. Despite the scorching weather, supporters of both camps gathered outside in a peaceful manner, with the Green Bird outnumbering the Blue Eagle. Legislator Wu Si-yao urged for a peaceful and rational democratic dialogue, emphasizing the importance of respecting different opinions and staying hydrated in the heat.
