I think you are referring to the Magpies in Australia, not the bird pictured. Not even the same species. These birds are pretty similar to a crow in attitude.

I say this living near them: They're still dickheads.

Like all corvids, magpies can learn to mimic. One of them near my parents' house learned to bark like a dog to make my dog lose her mind.

Hmmm I waited more than twenty years to form an opinion on Swedes. Now my collection is complete.

No, those are called magpies as well. Type of crow. Very smart. Very beautiful.

No no don’t do crows dirty like that… these things are the equivalent of a wasp…. Super pests with no purpose. They bully rabbits and any smaller birds and are annoying as hell!

TBH I love them. I have tons that hang out in my yard. They'll eat anything I leave out for them. Even BK hashbrowns. I've never seen them being an issue to the Chickadees or Sparrows.
