Nesting is done by both male and female birds. The nest is mainly composed of dead branches, which look like a bunch of messy branches from a distance, but it is actually very delicate, nearly spherical, with a top cover, with dead branches on the outer layer, weeds and dirt in the middle, twigs and dirt on the inner layer, and soft substances such as hemp, fiber, grass roots, moss, animal hair and feathers on the inner layer. ?
Magpies often take a long time to build nests. It takes more than two months from the beginning of pruning to the initial formation of the bird's nest, and it takes about four months for all internal projects to be completed. The outer branches of the magpie's nest are criss-crossed, which looks rough, but in fact its overall structure is very complex and fine.
Extended data:
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. 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.
Strong and lasting flight ability. When flying, the whole body and tail are in a straight line, the tail is slightly opened and the wings are slowly stirred. Male and female birds often keep a certain distance and move forward by leaps and bounds when they move on the ground.
