Magpies 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. In addition to other members of the genus Pica corvids considered as magpies are in the genera Cissa.

According to some studies magpies do not form the monophyletic group they are traditionally believed to be a long tail has certainly elongated independently in multiple lineages of corvid birds. Among the traditional magpies there appear to be two distinct lineages. One consists of Holarctic species with black/white colouration and is probably closely related to crows and Eurasian jays. The other contains several species from South to East Asia with vivid colouration which is predominantly green or blue. The azure-winged magpie and the Iberian magpie formerly thought to constitute a single species with a most peculiar distribution have been shown be two distinct species and classified as the genus Cyanopica.

Other research has cast doubt on the taxonomy of the Pica magpies since it appears that may not be different species whereas the Korean race pica is genetically very distinct from the other Eurasian forms. Either the North American Korean and remaining Eurasian forms are accepted as three or four separate species or there exists only a single species Pica pica.
