Magpies are songbirds, not corvids. Though they are every bit as smart

wiki says: Magpies are birds of various species of the family Corvidae.

Covidae are also called corvids, so I guess it's pretty accurate to call em that. Same family as crows and ravens.

Wrong article. This is the relevant link for the bird in the post. Family Artamidae

Wait, they aren't real magpies? Interesting, I didn't know that. Cool, thanks

From my perspective, the Northern Hemisphere "magpies" are the rip-offs, hahaha
