The magpies are medium to large, often colorful and noisy passerine birds of the crow family, Corvidae.

The prefix "mag-" is short for "Margaret." Known for its noisy chattering, the European Magpie may have acquired its name as an allusion to nagging. It could have also been named after "Maggot" because it stole eggs and nestlings from other birds. "Pie" is the original name of the bird, from the Latin pica.

The magpie is a symbol of happiness in Chinese culture.

In Canadian folklore, they peck out the eyes of other birds.

Sepia is a rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish, and it is also the name of a dark brown-grey color.

Sepia was commonly used as writing ink in classical times. In the last quarter of the 18th century, Professor Jacob Seydelmann of Dresden developed a process to extract and produce a more concentrated form for use in watercolors and oil paints.

Sepia is also favored in photography; the color can be obtained with a gold toning bath. The reddishness we nostalgically associate with sepia is actually the result of fading over time. Consequently, sepia has become a very vaguely defined term.

The word sepia is Greek for "cuttlefish."
