From the gentle chirps of a bird falling asleep to the powerful calls for food, this library offers a rich variety of magpie vocalizations. Additionally, it includes foleys recordings of magpies walking on wood and concrete, as well as the fluttering of their wings and a lot of preening.
Magpie Studio is a sound library capturing the vocal journey of young magpies, from their first cries to their early adult calls. This collection tells the story of four chicks that fell from their nest after being abandoned by their parents.
Most of the sounds were recorded in a studio environment in mono, with each chick recorded individually, along with a few stereo recordings featuring all four together. Only one long recording was made outdoors, capturing the moment they were released back into the wild.
The chirping of the young magpies has not been edited individually, as their early vocalizations are not yet distinct enough to be identified as separate “words” or “sentences”. Instead, longer recordings are provided to capture the broadest range of their developing vocal expressions and so categorized by mood. However, the adult magpie’s calls have been carefully edited and categorized by complexity—ranging from simple one- or two-syllable calls to more intricate vocalizations—allowing you to create your own bird conversations.
All sounds were recorded in 96 kHz / 24-bit quality.
P.S.: All the birds regained their strength and were successfully released back into their natural habitat.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
