A Yellow billed Magpie


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie
For a long time people could not believe that the magpies had once lived all the way from the shores of the eastern Atlantic to those of the western Pacific and so they came up with the theory that it had been the sixteenth-century Portuguese mariners who had brought the multicoloured birds back as pet. Some escaped and colonized south-Western Iberia. That seemed fine until we discovered the remains of this bird in caves that had been occupied by Neanderthals in Gibraltar around 40 thousand years ago. If they had lived in south-western Iberia then, one could no longer argue for the human-assisted introduction in historical times. ` Page 51 (From ‘The Humans Who Went Extinct’ Author Clive Finlayson
