Birds in the Family Corvidae (called "corvids") are among the smartest birds known. Corvids include crows, ravens, jays, magpies and others. 
Learn about Black-billed Magpies
Did you know that magpies have "funerals"? Up to 40 birds might gather within minutes after a dead magpie is spotted. Some magpies fly down 1 or 2 at a time and walk around the body calling loudly, often pecking at the wings or tail.
