Hand-raised magpies recognize their owners. Magpies are large and suitable for hand raising. They are also suitable for release after training and can fly back on their own. Magpies have a high IQ, are very obedient, and are highly interactive with their owners. They can generally recognize their owners after being raised for about a month.

How to train a magpie to recognize its master:

1. Train the magpie at home first, release it when it is hungry, and use whistle training to get started. When the magpie does the right instructions, it can be rewarded with food. After training to return to the cage, the magpies are also released from the cage when they are hungry, and food is used to lure the magpies back to the cage. After repeated several times, the magpie will form a conditioned reflex. It is best to train with short passwords.

2. For outdoor release training, you can choose an open venue, use a birdcage to bring the magpies out, let the magpies adapt to the environment for a period of time, then release the hungry magpies, and guide the magpies with commands and gestures. Follow the owner, and when the magpie obeys the command, the magpie can be rewarded with food. Make sure there is no food that scares the birds at the release location to prevent them from escaping.
