Magpie

Magpies are a type of crow. They're bold and very smart. In fact, they're one of the most intelligent animals in the world! They eat whatever they can find: seeds, insects, fruit, carrion, even food people have left out for their pets.

With their black and white feathers, magpies look like smartly dressed crows. Their black legs and beak look very sturdy. They have long, black tails with a green or blue shine. 

Size: 45 cm

Sound: magpies don't really sing. They make very distinct and loud clicking noises, almost like they're cackling.

Magpies use sticks as tools, and they're one of only a few animals that can recognise their own reflection in a mirror.
