Pica mourerae

Pica mourerae

Pica mourerae was an extinct island magpie from Mallorca, living among open woodland, scrub, and rocky ground. It likely foraged on foot for insects, small vertebrates, eggs, and other available food, using its strong bill to probe and peck. Its reduced wings and long legs suggest a notably terrestrial lifestyle compared with living magpies.
