Magpie Magpies are considered to be the most intelligent birds, if not the most intelligent non-magical animals, in the world. Since studies have began on them, they have been seen recognizing and mimicking humanoid speech, identifying their reflections within a mirror, and using tools to solve simple problems. Ornithologists have also proven that they are capable of feeling complex emotions similar to that of a human. Unfortunately, much like ravens and crows, a stigma has been placed on them throughout humanoid folklore and history, denouncing them as evil and associating them with witchcraft and ill fortune.
