The oriental magpie-robin (Copsychus saularis) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but now considered an Old World flycatcher. They are distinctive black and white birds with a long tail that is held upright as they forage on the ground or perch conspicuously. Occurring across most of the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia, they are common birds in urban gardens as well as forests. They are particularly well known for their songs and were once popular as cagebirds. The oriental magpie-robin is national bird for Bangladesh. People of Bangladesh recognize it as "Doyel".
This species is 19 cm long, including the long tail that is usually held cocked upright. It is similar in shape to the smaller European robin, but is longer-tailed. The male has black upperparts, head and throat apart from a white shoulder patch. The underparts and the sides of the long tail are white. Females are greyish black above and greyish white. Young birds have scaly brown upperparts and head. It is the national bird of Bangladesh.

Get the Swooping Magpie mug.Somebody who talks like a bird and doesn't shut up! They tend to talk fast and loud!!! They also are hard to understand, due to the fact that the sound that comes from their voicebox is more or less like a Raven!!
"My sister went into a magpie mode when I confronted her on inpersonating me when she was stopped by a peace officer while being under the influence of narcotics and having warrants out for her arrest"

Get the Magpie Effect mug.The best AFL team in the country, the only people that support this team are nice, wealthy and healthy people that have nice houses. Most Australians don't like them, mostly because they are jealous of their rich heritage and how much skill the players have. They are the only team in history to win 4 premierships in a row and that is a feat that no other team could possibly beat apart from the team who set that record - the Collingwood Football Club!
Person 1: Why are the Collingwood Magpies so good?
Person 2: Maybe it's because they have they best players and supporters!

Get the Collingwood Magpies mug.When a chick won't shut up during sex, you spread her arms on the bed so she can't move and you shove your dick down her throat until she stops talking.
Hey, how was your night last night?
Pretty good, although my girl wouldn't shut up so I gave her a magpie.
