Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...
Photographed in Reno, Nevada
Magpies (Pica Pica) are birds of the Corvidae family, including the black and white Eurasian magpie, which is considered one of the most intelligent animals in the world, and the only non-mammal species able to recognize itself in a mirror test. The magpies possess an extremely long tail, In fact, a magpie’s tail is often roughly the same length as its entire body. Why magpies have such long tails is still debated but it may be that it gives the magpie, who isn’t a particularly strong, though still capable flier, the ability to make swift turns while in the air. This would allow the magpie to evade larger predator birds and make up for its rather average flying abilities. Magpies mate for life and mating partners are usually together for their entire lives.
