When a magpie dies, a gathering of them congregates around the deceased bird where they call out loudly for 10–15 minutes.

[7] The yellow-billed magpie prefers groves of tall trees along rivers and near open areas, though in some cities they have begun to nest in vacant lots and other weedy places.

[8] Nests maybe 14 meters above the ground and are sometimes built far out on long branches to prevent predators from reaching them.

[5] These omnivorous birds forage on the ground, mainly eating insects, especially grasshoppers, but also carrion, acorns and fruit in fall and winter.

[6] Avian poxvirus is another contagious viral infection that Yellow-billed magpies face that have raised concerns for their population.

While the prevalence of avian poxvirus in Yellow-billed magpies varies, it is considered a potential concern for the species.

Rodent Poison also is the use of rodenticides and pesticides in agricultural and urban areas poses a direct threat to the Yellow-billed magpie population.

Climate Change and its associated impacts, such as increased temperatures and altered precipitation patterns, may affect the availability of the bird's food sources and nesting sites.

These efforts include habitat restoration, monitoring of populations, and education campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of safeguarding this species.
