Summary:
Comparison of the skeletal features of a magpie head (photographs of A, side view: B, from below), with those of related birds (C, white-breasted woodswallow, Artamus leucorynchus; D, mountain peltops, Peltops montanus; E, Chabert vanga, Leptopterus chabert). Note the magpie’s beak features, large eye socket and skull to hold the large brain and bones of the palate. Though the images are not to scale (woodswallows and the New Guinean peltops are much smaller than magpies), there are some clear similarities. The vanga (E) shown here occurs in Madagascar.
