In the UK Pica pica has greatly increased in numbers since killing by gamekeepers was discouraged and they were accepted by humans. More scientific information is, I am sure, available from the RSPB and others. In Australia this bird must be a potential pest and should be removed from our ecosystems. I say this despite my feeling they are lovely birds (one for a girl, two for a boy......). I have never seen the Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyanus) which is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. Given its existence I cannot understand the "Eurasian Magpie" common name for Pica pica.
