Magpies are a species of bird from the Corvidae family, which also includes crows and ravens. These birds are found around the world and are identified by their long tails, black and white colouring, and distinctive calls. Perhaps most famously, magpies are known for their intelligence and problem-solving capabilities, which have made them popular in scientific studies.

In the wild, magpies live in social groups, forming family groups and large flocks. They are omnivorous, eating a variety of foods, including seeds, fruits, insects, small mammals, and carrion. Magpies build nests of twigs and grass in shrubs and trees, and they are also known to use discarded materials to build their nests.

Magpies are also known for their curiosity, as they are often seen stealing shiny objects such as jewelry, coins, and keys. While some people find this behaviour annoying, it is part of the magpie's natural curiosity and exploration. Magpies are also quite vocal birds, producing a variety of calls, including a loud alarm call when threatened. They are also known for their mimicking abilities, and have been observed copying the calls of other birds.
