For added effect, listen to this as you read. An Animal Stereotype: Magpies (and by extension other corvids such as ravens and crows) have a compulsion to steal, particularly in regard to shiny things. A common plot is for something to go missing, accusations of theft to be thrown around at everyone in sight, and the magpie to be revealed as the culprit at the last minute. This stereotype is based on the commonly held (though actually false) belief that magpies collect shiny objects to line their nests in order to attract a mate. What is true, however, is that magpies and other corvids are intelligent animals with an innate sense of curiosity, and they may carry off unfamiliar objects such as jewelry simply to examine them more closely. So it's easy to see how people might think this was like a small-scale version of a Dragon Hoard. This stereotype has also provided a handy Animal Motif for the occasional fictional jewel thief (for when cats are too much of a cliché). See also Magpies as Portents, which is about the association of certain numbers of magpies with bad (or sometimes good) luck and the rituals for warding the bad luck off. See Penny-Pinching Crab for more greedy animals. Compare Pesky Pigeons, which have similar annoyances. |

Alfred J. Kwak: One of Alfred's friends is a magpie named Pikkie ("Grabby"), who is actually compelled to steal anything shiny that he lays his eyes on, gaining Mind-Control Eyes in the process. This gets Alfred into a lot of trouble when Pikkie steals a crown jewel and Alfred ends up looking responsible. When the truth is revealed, the king pardons Pikkie since he couldn't help himself. | |

Les Voyageurs Sans Souci: As learning how to fly, Agathe lands on a branch, right next to a magpie's hoard (full of glass fragments, keys, coins...). Outraged, the magpie tries to pluck Agathe's hairs and scratch her face, forcing the girl to jump off the branch. Later, Agathe finds out that same magpie pushed Ted off when the boy climbed the tree to retrieve his stolen switchblade knife. | |

Discworld: Quoth the Raven, a familiar of Death and friend to the Death of Rats, always pounces on shiny things in the vain hope that they might be eyeballs. He claims that this tendency is where his genus's reputation for thievery comes from. In Carpe Jugulum, the vampyres' magpie mascots pinch Granny Weatherwax's gold-edged invitation to the naming of Verence and Magrat's baby. Cue Granny thinking she's been snubbed as she hasn't received her invitation, while everybody else in the kingdom has. |

Blackbirds RPG: Corvus, the (now-dead) god of death and thievery, was strongly associated with corvids and often appeared to mortals as a massive crow. One myth claims that he stole the north star itself from the sky to decorate his nest, only reluctantly returning it when coerced by the Norns, and it was common practice to sacrifice jewelry and other wealth to him in an attempt to win his favor. | |

Cursed Princess Club: Princess Monika of the Quilted Kingdom was once stuck in the form of a crow by an evil wizard who kidnapped her. Even after being rescued and mostly cured, she still turns into a crow when she gets anxious and retains crow-like habits when in human form. This most prominently includes kleptomania; she likes to covertly steal various things (especially if they're shiny) and store them in her dangerously cluttered room. | |

The "Freedom City" setting for Mutants & Masterminds has a Gentleman Thief named Magpie who can teleport, but never would he teleport into a building— he savors the challenge of breaking in the hard way. His power is used only for last-second escapes, and even then only if he can't vanish any other way. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Both normal and giant magpies were described in the Creature Catalog, a monster book for Basic/Expert/etc. D&D. Their stats made them weak in combat, but excellent filchers of unattended shiny objects; in effect, they were a potential hook for the DM to lure parties into other encounters, by having a magic item snatched up by this trope's embodiment and forcing them to pursue it. In Third Edition, spellcasters with a raven Familiar gain a bonus on the Appraise skill, notably used to determine the value of shiny things. |

The bird-like Kig-Yar (a.k.a. "Jackals") of Halo are directly compared to magpies as a whole for their thieving and pirating ways, with the Skirmisher subspecies being particularly attracted to shiny objects. Skirmishers also have large, black feathers adorning their arms and heads, unlike the other kig-yar with their sharp, quill-like feathers. | |

Moment comes when Tintin hears that Bianca Castafiore, still missing her emerald, will be performing in said Rossini opera — sure enough, he finds the jewel in a magpie's nest. |

On Good Eats, Alton is explaining the connection between the word "pie" (as in, a black and white pattern found on birds such as magpies) and "pie" (as in, the food). A magpie steals a bunch of Noodle Implements from Alton for its nest outside. | |

Exists in the Highland Expansion for Talisman as a Follower. It allows the owner to take any loot drawn in an encounter first before dealing with anything else-normally, the player has to trigger any events drawn, kill any monsters, and deal with any strangers before getting the loot. | |

Heckle and Jeckle are two wise-cracking magpies who, by trait, con their way into getting whatever they need. They also make life miserable for two dogs, a lugubrious bloodhound (Dimwit) and a tough bulldog (unofficially named Chesty). | |

Otulissa dislikes her because she is collecting trash... until she checks the stuff out in "The Shattering" and praises the magpie. | |

Amphibia: In "After the Rain", Anne finally learns that Hop Pop buried the Calamity Box for safekeeping instead of giving it to his alleged "contacts", but also discovers the Box has gone missing. While Anne fumes about Hop Pop lying to her and losing the box, Sprig and Polly try to find the box themselves, and discover it's been stolen by an insect called a "magpie beetle". | |

Housepets!: Trinket is a dimwitted bird who fits this to a tee. From his minimal screentime, he seems to work for anyone who can benefit him, usually committing theft or cons and serving as the Sycophantic Servant to both Cory and Stewart in different arcs. Inverting this, he quickly realizes he's in over his head with the latter and ditches him soon after their defeat. | |

The Thinking Machine: In "The Rosewell Tiara'', Van Dusen investigates when a single diamond is stolen from a tiara inside a locked safe. The 'thief' turns out to be the owner's pet cockatoo, who has a penchant for shiny objects and who plucked out the diamond and swallowed it. How the safe came to be opened turns out to a completely separate mystery. | |
