The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The magpie goose is an unusual anseriform and the only living member of its family: its closest relatives split from the ducks and geese tens of millions of years ago. It is black and white with very long legs and only partly webbed feet. Unlike every other anseriform it does not moult all its flight feathers at once, so it never loses the ability to fly.
