Description
The black magpie (Platysmurus leucopterus) is a species of bird in the family Corvidae. Despite its name, it is neither a magpie nor, as was long believed, a jay, but a treepie. Treepies are a distinct group of corvids externally similar to magpies. It is monotypic within the genus Platysmurus.

The black Magpie thrives in diverse forest habitats, from dense primary rainforests to alluvial and freshwater swamp areas. It also adapts well to dry forests and settled areas such as village peripheries, cocoa plantations, and gardens. This species is characterized by its preference for lowland forest environments, particularly in regions where ample tree cover and undergrowth offer suitable nesting and foraging opportunities. Black Magpie is commonly found in forest fringes, including mangrove edges, indicating its versatility in exploiting different woodland ecosystems.
