If I see a one Magpie, I hope to see another, because two are for joy. It's a beautiful bird however, and it does not deserve to be feared.

I detest<br />bloody crows and how they pluck eyes out of new born lambs etc.<br />Magpies here have such lovely musical calls and can be trained to talk.!!!<br />But their nesting areas are certainly to be avoided at nesting time. They<br />are pretty good at "dive bombing - Stukka style". I have had my ears picked<br />and cap removed on quite a few occasions.<br />Besides these annoying foibles they are lovely birds with melodious calls.<br />Cheers<br />ColinHuggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.com
