	Magpie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The magpies are medium to large, often colorful and noisy passerine birds of the crow family, Corvidae.
		The names 'jay', 'treepie' and 'magpie' are to a certain extent interchangeable, not reflecting any genuine genetic difference between the groups.
		The Australian Magpie has the fl and white colours of a magpie, but it is not a magpie (or a corvid).

	European Magpie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The European Magpie (Pica pica) is a resident breeding bird throughout Europe, much of Asia, and northwest Africa.
		The North American Black-billed Magpie is almost identical to the Eurasian form, and was previously considered conspecific, but was found to be genetically closer to the Yellow-billed Magpie.
		Tall trees are selected by the Magpie for its bulky nest; it is firmly attached to a central fork in the upper branches.

	Magpie Notes
		Magpie is formed as a compound of Mag, the diminutive of Margaret, and pie, which probably comes from a French word imitative of the bird's call.
		Magpies were said to warn their human neighbors of the presence of foxes, wolves, or armed men; hence in Poitou formerly little bunches of heath or laurel wre tied up in the trees in honor of them.
		Magpie feathers were used for ceremonial costumes by many tribes; the Yokuts of south central California, for instance, used a tall dance headdress made of magpie tail plumes encircled at the base with crow feathers.

		The names 'jay' and 'magpie' are to a certain extent interchangeable, although this does not accurately reflect the evolutionary relationship between these birds.
		In Europe, "Magpie" is often used by English speakers as a synonym for the European Magpie, as there are no other magpies in Europe outside Iberia.
		Among the traditional magpies, there appear to be two evolutionary lineages: One consists of Holarctic species with fl/white coloration and is probably closely related to crows and Eurasian jays.

	Magpie by DaRC
		Magpies live for an average of two and a half years and the adults live in pairs during much of the year, meeting in the winter to fly in groups and spend the night in dense bushes.
		Another interpretation states that the magpie is the village spirit that announces good omens, and the tiger is the servant that does his bidding; another that the tiger is a yangban (aristocrat) and the magpie is the representative of the common people, scolding him for his insensitivity to their plight.
		Since magpies are opportunists and seldom miss a chance to get something for nothing those with this medicine should pay attention to subtle omens that appear in their life then act accordingly so opportunities are not missed.

		Description: These beautiful magpies have long light-blue tails and wings, grey backs, white throats and a fl cap on the top of their head.
		Growing up: Azure-winged magpies lay up to nine eggs in a clutch and the eggs are incubated for 15 days before hatching.
		As only one egg is laid each day and the adults begin incubating as soon as the first egg is laid, there can be a gap of a week or more between the hatch dates of the chicks.

	The Common Magpie
		These intrepid travellers first observed the Magpie near the great bend of the Missouri, although it was known to have been obtained at the fur-trading factories of the Hudson's Bay Company.
		The Magpie again descends, steps slowly over the green, looking from side to side, stops and listens, advances rapidly by a succession of leaps, and encounters a whole brood of chickens, with their mother at their heels.
		Were they unprotected, how deliciously would the Magpie feast, but alas, it is vain to think of it, for with fury in her eye, bristled plumage, and loud clamour, headlong rushes the hen, overturning two of her younglings, when the enemy suddenly wheels round, avoiding the encounter, and flies off after his mate.

	NOVA Online \| Garden of Eden \| Saving the Magpie Robin
		The Seychelles magpie robin (Copsychus sechellarum), a fl-feathered bird about the size of a European flbird, dwindled to fewer than 20 individuals on a single island in the Seychelles, an archipelago of about 100 granite and coral islands strewn like a handful of beads between India and Madagascar.
		But its dress is as sharp as that of any bird, the males and females both bearing immaculate, glossy, coal-fl plumage with a brilliant dash of white across the wings.
		Once widespread in the Seychelles, it lived in closed-canopy forest, and its only predators were the native Wright's skink and an endemic snake, which stole eggs and chicks from the birds' nests.
