Magpies eat eggs primarily as a source of nutrition, particularly during breeding season when they require extra energy for themselves and their young. They are opportunistic feeders and may target the nests of other birds, seeing eggs as a readily available food source. Additionally, eating eggs can help control the population of other bird species, contributing to their ecological role as both scavengers and predators.
