How does a yellow billed magpie get its energy?

The yellow-billed magpie primarily gets its energy from a diverse diet that includes insects, seeds, fruits, and small animals. It forages in various habitats, often in oak woodlands and grasslands, where it searches for food on the ground and in trees. The bird's high metabolic rate requires a consistent intake of nutrients to sustain its energy levels for daily activities. Additionally, it may scavenge and steal food from other birds, further supplementing its energy needs.
