Wow... I adore magpies.....
I am told that they really are a bit naughty cause they scare other birds away (not sure if this is true..) but I find them fascinating to watch.....

and very intelligent........
"The Eurasian Magpie is believed to be among the most intelligent of birds, and among the most intelligent of all animals. Magpies have been observed engaging in elaborate social rituals, possibly including the expression of grief.[6] Mirror self-recognition has been demonstrated in European magpies"
"The birds do not avoid humans unless they are harassed. Sometimes two or more birds display "teasing" behaviour towards animals such as cats. It is thought that this behaviour may be to scare away potential predators and egg thieves.",
seen 2 of them attack a small cat who came in their territorium when they had yearlings !!
