Magpie: the most charming bird
I love magpies - they are smart, local and adaptive, plus they have the most wonderful birdsong.
According to ABC radio:
“Scientists have done experiments using face masks and figured out magpies recognise other magpies, and people by their faces.
Although that's bad news if a magpie takes a dislike to you, they're actually pretty easy to make friends with, bird expert and author Gisela Kaplan told ABC Radio Melbourne. Dr Kaplan said once a magpie knew you and judged you to be a nice person, you would have earned a friend for life. "They will form very long friendships, like dogs," she said.
"They will introduce their young [to you] and they will be the most charming birds.”
