There are many sparrows in the urban area of ??Beijing, and there is also a big bird with a long black and white tail. What’s its name? It’s best if you can attach a picture~

It’s called a magpie.

The magpie belongs to the genus Magpie, order Passerine, Corvidae, also known as Magpie. The characteristic of the body shape is that the head, neck, back and tail are all black, and they show purple, green-blue, green and other luster from the front to the back. The wings are black and there is a large white spot on the wing shoulder. The tail is much longer than the wings and is wedge-shaped; the iris is brown; the beak is black; and the feet are black. The ventral surface is bounded by the chest, with the front black and back white. ?Body length 435~460 mm. The male and female feathers are similar in color. The plumage color of young birds is similar to that of adult birds, but the black feathers are dyed brown, and the metallic luster is not obvious.

Magpies are birds with strong adaptability. They inhabit mountains and plains. They can be seen in wilderness, farmland, suburbs and cities. But a general rule is that where there are more human activities, the number of magpie populations tends to be larger, while this species is rarely found in dense forests where people are less likely to visit. Magpies often move in large flocks and pairs, foraging in wilderness farmlands during the day and perching on the tops of tall trees at night. ?Magpies are one of the most popular birds. They like to build their nests in big trees next to houses and move around residential areas.
