Are you talking about European or Australian magpies?

Shouldn't that be: “What do you mean, an African or European Swallow?"

I know you are referencing something, but in this case it's a very legit question, Eurasian magpies are corvidae (and remarkably clever ones at that), while the ones found in America or Australia aren't.

Now if I could find who decided to name them the same...

American magpies are indeed corvidae, unlike the Australian ones.

Grouse only exist in the northern hemisphere so it will likely be some type of Euro-Asian magpie.
