Behaviour
The Yellow-billed Magpie is gregarious and roosts communally. There may be a cluster of communal roosts in one general area made up of a central roost containing many birds and several outlying roosts with fewer.
Yellow-billed Magpie flocks are known to engage in funeral-like behavior for their dead.
