Magpie

Magpies were a mundane avian species in the Realms.
==Description==
The song produced by magpies sounded like "queg queg queg..."
==Behavior==
Magpies were highly attracted to small, shiny or brightly-colored objects, such as gems or rings. They would often swoop down and steal such objects without ever touching the ground, taking it back to their nest.
==Combat==
These birds were adverse to fighting, even when threatened.
==Ecology==
===Habitats===
Magpies typically lived in forests, farm lands, and even the urban areas of regions with a temperate climate.
===Relationships===
In the Realms, magpies acted as servants of the deity Gwaeron Windstrom. One of the tasks they would carry out for him would be to obscure clues indicating a trail from a follower's foes or to reveal such clues to his favored trackers.
==Notable Magpies==
* Horace, an unusually intelligent magpie that was owned and trained by a thief in the Vast known as Sigird Sigirdson.
==Trivia==
In the Kara-Tur city of Balanzia, there was an inn known as the Yellow Magpie.
