The Magpie Syndrome is the condition of clumsiness. Resulting in having the Magpie Syndrome, you will become much clumsier than your usual self. Most likely, you will trip and fall every minute or so. The Magpie Syndrome is a very contagious condition that may be fatal. If the effects of the Magpie Syndrome are serious enough, it would be known as the Black-billed Magpie Syndrome. The Black-billed Magpie Syndrome is a branched off adaptation of the Magpie Syndrome. It contains the same effects of the Magpie Syndrome; however, the effects would result in more harmful injuries.

The belief by pirates in the 1500's and 1600's that black magpies native to the Caribbean would detect and seek out the fermenting alcohol of naturally occurring molasses from sugar cane plants which produced natural rum. During specific times of the year, P. hudsonia would roost in the Caribbean during migration. The migration traverse would lead the birds to search high energy food. Of particular interest to pirates was rum. The pirates would watch the seasonal migration patterns of the birds as well as roosting locations in hopes of finding free alcoholic booty to trade on the high seas as well as use for personal inebriation. The alcohol was easily captured and stored for ocean voyages.

Currently being used as slang for people too cheap to buy their own liquor when going to parties who steal from others.

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.
Look at that Oriental magpie-robin, what a beautiful species of birds!
