Extended data

Demographic situation

The species has a wide distribution range, which is not close to the critical value standard for the survival of vulnerable and endangered species (the distribution area or fluctuation range is less than 20,000 square kilometers, and the habitat quality, population size and distribution area are fragmented), and the population trend is stable, so it is evaluated as a species without survival crisis.

However, in the more than 20 years since 2 1 century, due to the extensive use of pesticides and fertilizers, environmental pollution and other factors, the magpie population has dropped sharply, and it has been difficult to see in many places. Some areas have listed it as a local key protected bird.
