About These Birds
Eurasian Magpie
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent animals on Earth and the first non-mammal demonstrated to recognize itself in a mirror. These bold corvids build elaborate domed nests of sticks and have a well-known attraction to shiny objects, though this reputation may be exaggerated.
Asir Magpie
The Asir Magpie is an Endangered corvid restricted to the Asir Mountains of southwestern Saudi Arabia. Weighing about 200g with a wingspan of 38.9cm, it resembles other magpies with black-and-white plumage and a long tail. Its extremely limited range and habitat degradation make it one of Arabia's most threatened birds.
