Steptoe and son was an old English comedy as you found out.
As an old teacher once told his class and that included gary, don't be afraid to ask, for if you don't know betcha others don't as well.
I don't know your magpie but Synchro says in number 466 they, the northern hemisphere magpie is nothing like ours down under. I'll copy and paste his comments. It's difficult to think of ours fitting your description. and kind regards to you Katy.
and here, from 466 verbatim
They are nothing like the Northern Hemisphere bird of the same name.
