Background information

When you hear the word "magpie", the first image that usually springs to mind is the European magpie. But there are actually other magpies in Europe, like in Spain and Portugal. Most of them are black and white while some are green and blue and are also called "oriental magpies". There is even one species of blue and white magpie, the azure-winged magpie! Nonetheless, in magpies wallpaper we have decided to focus on the traditional image. Contrary to popular belief, they are large birds that often have long tails. Another distinguishing feature of the birds is that they walk or hop along the ground, which oddly gives them an even more human appeal. The same can be said for magpies wallpaper as they convey a sense of familiarity and affinity for these animals. Perhaps it also has to do with the fact that magpies eat lots of different kinds of food, just like us.

The important trait in magpies wallpaper

We cannot talk about magpies without addressing the aforementioned bias towards them, which is common in many parts of the world.

Magpies wallpaper by Photowall can help change that perception because it is actually a misconception that they do this out of pleasure.

This symbolic value can be brought into your space by using magpies wallpaper.
