bird. It can be taught to speak. The American magpie
(Pica Hudsonica) is very similar. The yellow-belled
magpie (Pica Nuttalli) inhabits California. The blue
magpie (Cyanopolius Cooki) inhabits Spain. Other
allied species are found in Asia. The Tasmanian and
Australian magpies are crow shrikes, as the white
magpie (Gymnorhina organicum), the black magpie
(Strepera fuliginosa), and the Australian magpie
(Cracticus picatus).
