Do you have the same tradition that it is bad luck if you only see one magpie and to avert this it has to be saluted and addressed. I used to work in an office overlooking a garden and one very suspicious work friend was always saluting the lone magpie and saying hello mr magpie how is your wife.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253875352864018195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-89903539803299755982011-10-12T05:43:33.526-07:002011-10-12T05:43:33.526-07:00Beautiful birds, aren't they?Beautiful birds, aren't they?MERYL JAFFE, PhD - parent, psychologist, teacher, author...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310099341897509058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-68513831700682675782011-10-12T04:35:14.250-07:002011-10-12T04:35:14.250-07:00We do indeed have magpies, at least two families o...We do indeed have magpies, at least two families of them nesting nearby.

It's hilarious to see: magpie carries some sort of food around, glances visibly to the right and left and then quickly jabs the food into the ground and covers it with moss and leaves. Then it walks away and it would whistle if it could. Food? There's no food here.???https://www.blogger.com/profile/00467285279627231933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-29442531516160731012011-10-12T02:23:08.865-07:002011-10-12T02:23:08.865-07:00Sometimes I think magpies are the only birds over ...Sometimes I think magpies are the only birds over our garden ! and they nag the cats ! <br />Gattina<br />ABC TeamGattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25694715.post-38616493891018390482011-10-11T21:35:30.369-07:002011-10-11T21:35:30.369-07:00OH, lucky, lucky YOU!
