Eurasian magpie

The Eurasian magpie, European magpie, or common magpie (Pica pica) is a resident breeding bird throughout Europe, much of Asia and northwest Africa. It is one of several birds in the crow family named as magpies, and belongs to the Holarctic radiation of "monochrome" magpies. In Europe, "magpie" is used by English speakers as a synonym for the European magpie; it is the only magpie in Europe outside the Iberian Peninsula.

Uncover the fascinating life of the Eurasian Magpie, a highly intelligent and adaptable bird. Learn about its complex social structure, diet, and nesting habits.

While, on the face of it, the Magpie is a striking bird with its plump body, upright stance, long tail, confidently alert demeanour, bold black and white pattern and plumage with a metallic iridescent purple, blue and green sheen, not many people appear to warm to it. Worse still, it has long been associated with evil as an English observation from 1507 testifies: "Whan pyes chatter vpon a house it is a sygne of ryghte euyll tydynges."
