What is the magpie's cry?

The sound of magpies is "Zha-Zha-Zha", and they often sing while flying. When they are in groups, their cries are very noisy. The male bird is looking for food on the ground, the female bird is standing on the highland and looking for food. If danger is found, the bird watcher will scream and fly away with the foraging birds.

Magpies often move in small groups of 3-5 in the breeding season, and often integrate dozens of large groups in autumn and winter. During the day, I often go to open areas such as farmland for food, and fly to nearby trees to rest at night. Sometimes I see crows and western Western jackdaw mixed activities. Be alert, there is always a bird to guard when foraging. Even if they feed in pairs, they usually take turns waiting for food.

Magpies are found in almost all continents except South America, Oceania and Antarctica. There are 4 subspecies in China, which are found all over the country except grassland and desert areas. Magpie is a symbol of good luck in China, and it has been a custom to draw magpies to express happiness since ancient times.

Magpies are divided into many groups. Traditionally, magpies distributed in Europe, Asia and North America belong to the same species. Recently, however, some scholars think that the genetic relationship between the North American subspecies of magpie and another magpie distributed in the same area should be independent, and some scholars point out that the common subspecies widely distributed in East Asia are far from those distributed in Europe and should be listed separately.

According to the investigation of 1956- 1958 in Changli, Hebei and Beijing suburbs, their food proportion will be different in different periods. For example, in the spring and summer breeding season with more insects, the staple food is crickets, locusts, scarabs and Lepidoptera, which is beneficial to the growth of crops.

When sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, they go to the fields to find the grain seeds and seedlings left by the ridge road, which is also conducive to the cleaning work.
