Australian magpies that get picked on by other magpies may be smarter than their bullies, according to Australian researchers.
The team has monitored a population of suburban magpies in Western Australia since 2014, and from 2020 to 2021, they recorded data on the magpies' social networks to investigate how their interactions impacted their intelligence.
Associate professor Amanda Ridle speaks to Emile Donovan about what they found.
