They are nothing like the Northern Hemisphere bird of the same name.

FWIW, I thoroughly dislike the Magpies around here. They're pretty, but, they're the most obnoxious bird I've ever seen. They harass all the other birds. The only birds they seem to get along with are their own kind. They eat the eggs of the other birds, they'll screech and chatter and make a nuisance of themselves for no apparent reason. They're worse than the sparrows and they're bad enough.
Had to look that one up.
