How do you know it's the same magpie? They all look the same to me.

Maybe you aren't paying enough attention to them?

I have mixed feelings about magpies probably cause I am somewhat ascared of them!

Designed a collection on them in collage because became so fascinated by them - have wonderful texture and form.

Used to see one and (this is really sad) nod 3 times say mornin Mr. Magpie mornin mr. magpie mornin mr. magpie Salute 3 times saying wheres ur friend mr magpie x3 then if there wasnt another stick my middle finger up and say fuk you mr magpie x3.
So my advice worship them or else....

Gosh that all sounds crazy! :eek:

round my way you're supposed to say 'jimmy' twice, and spit twice

on espying magpie: "Jimmy Jimmy thoo thoo"

strange sad but true I tells ya

I'm being stalked by a magpie, I've seen one five times in the past three days. Are many people superstitious when it comes to these birds? One is bad, two is good, etc. Poll included.

You know you love it baby

I'm not usually one to crow about these things but they're evil. It's as clear as black and white to me.

see I was told that if you see a magpie through glass then the bad luck can't get through LOL!

I'm funny about superstitions, I only believe the good luck ones, like if I saw two magpies then I'd be like "oooh good luck for me" but if I see one, then I'm more like "yeh right, like magpies could bring you bad luck"!!!

Don't pick holes in my argument. I'm right, I'm always right, 90% of the time.

I heard of a guy with a pet magpie called "maggie"..original i know :rolleyes: he trained it to do stuff but one day it turned bad and pecked his eyes out. I don't want to believe it but....

just to point out all birds are evil and magpies especially.

Magpies are one of the local wild animals that make a great pet if you could get your hands on a very young one without breaking the law. They talk better than parrots and they're highly intelligent ( compared to a chicken that is ) and they trive on the cheapest tinned catfood and a couple of handfulls of food leftovers. Downside is that you need a big cage, something the size of a parrot cage is the absolute minimum.

Magpies are cute and cheeky, they should be protected along with crows and foxes.

Another reason for removing the lid from your wheelybin. :pac::pac::pac:

That is the worst cat i've ever seen! Too lazy to take out a magpie literally inches away from it. My cat would have destroyed that magpie if it came within 3 metres of it.

Brothers cat would regularly have them for breakfast literaly and that was without a front leg. (Car accident)

This cat is a bit more agile but still not quick enough http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=g9M7NmVVsxA
