They can often be seen in pairs, and these pairs are referred to as mating pairs.

They are also known for raiding other birds nests, most often the nests of songbirds, and this raiding has a negative effect on the population of these birds.
The magpie is an omnivore, as it eats both other creatures, as well as fruits and seeds.

It is one of a few birds who can use items as tools.

I have always liked the magpie, as I think they have a very interesting colour, and patten displayed through their feathers, and I also like how if you see a magpie in the wild, they very commonly travel in mating pairs.
