I'd suggest there are two particularly notable
features of Magpie flight (in comparison with other birds):
1. That it is typically very
direct (like a flapping arrow) and
2. the very pronounced upward
motion to terminate any flight (even when landing on the ground). Most birds do
this but it is more pronounced for this species than any other I can think
of.
