 Magpie by DaRC
Magpies are believed to have evolved from a Jay-like ancestor and the 'pie' in Magpie and Treepie refers to the fl and white or pied plumage of many of them.
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.

 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.

 WORLDTWITCH - Malaysia Birding by Frank Rheindt
The canopy walkway opens when the morning show is over, and is usually crowded with too many loud tourists, so expectations should not be set too high.
From the small waterfall, the trail leads through some lush growth (Black Magpie, Crested Jay, Dusky Broadbill, Rufous-tailed Shama) to a cave, where the surrounding forest is usually dead, but (on one occasion) yielded a flock of Brown Fulvetta, Gray-headed and White-necked Babblers and even Fluffy-backed Tit-Babblers.
The canopy walkway is definitely better than the one in Taman Negara, since it opens at 7 a.m., when most tourists are still in bed.
