#Australian #Magpies (Cracticus tibicen) are not #corvids. They are passerine birds belonging to the family Artamidae, which includes several species of magpies, currawongs, and butcherbirds. Corvids, on the other hand, belong to the family Corvidae, which includes crows, ravens, magpies, and jays. While Australian Magpies and corvids share some similarities in their behavior and intelligence, they are not closely related from an evolutionary standpoint.
