The gray magpie will recognize its owner. The gray magpie is a relatively intelligent bird with a sense of direction and can be familiar with its owner's scent and remember its owner. After feeding for a period of time, the magpie will recognize its owner and will not run away at will. If it flies away, it will recognize its nest and fly back to its residence. It should be noted that when feeding magpies at the beginning, do not let them completely free-range to prevent the magpies from being unfamiliar at first and not being able to remember the way home after flying away, causing them to get lost or run away.

How to train a gray magpie to recognize its owner:

1. It needs to communicate through language. When the magpie is still in the cage, the owner can communicate more with the magpie to make the magpie familiar with your voice and feel familiar with you, which will facilitate future training.

2. Magpies need to be fed appropriate food. When the magpie is hungry, you can lead the magpie to do some command actions, and reward the corresponding food if it is completed, so that it can gradually become familiar with you as its owner.

3. Take it step by step and don’t be greedy for haste. Magpies are smart animals. They can do some simple actions at first, and then gradually increase the difficulty. You can take the magpie outdoors to give instructions and release the magpie. Magpies that become familiar with their owners are less likely to fly away and can basically recognize their owners.
