Magpie

Magpie


Magpie shot in Dream World, Gold Coast. Notice that the spelling is Magpie, not Macpie.


The magpies are medium to large, often colorful and noisy passerine birds of the crow family, Corvidae. They are closely allied to the jays and treepies. The names 'jay', 'treepie' and 'magpie' are to a certain extent interchangeable, not reflecting any genuine genetic difference between the groups.
