yeah, fuck magpies
but also, kitties and crows are awesome
i'm very much enjoying my friendship with my new friend mochi the stray black and white kitty
i should try to make friends with crows next time i am around places with them
there is literally no crows on this island of madeira, it's bizarre
even, there is a pub in sao vicente, the main town nearby, called "o corvo" (the crow" and nope, no crows around here, none, nada
best i can do is blackbirds.jpg
All corvids are jerks if you get on their bad side, like a person.
I love magpies, raised one when I was a kid, we were best pals. Hunted beetles together and chilled in a hammock
well, the australian ones, they are a bit more friendly than the european ones, not sure if it was clear... the australian ones are definitely warmer and more friendly than the machine-gun sounding barely singing europeans
I only know the north american kind
I was delighted to find out recently that one name for a group of magpies is a "mischief"
haha, yeah, that totally fits
the australian magpies are more like pied crows, and they have these amazing songs
they are also notorious for dive bombing people, especially postmen who often get attacked because one postman previously was flinging rubber bands at them for funsies, and then the next guy did nothing but because he looks the same (riding on bicycle) he gets attacked, and then the whole fucking neighbourhood people riding bicycles get attacked
can also happen with just people walking around and some magpie being threatened by some dipshit, then they attack you in open fields and suchlike
australian magpie attacks are proof of psycho bitchez
Hahaha
Oh, that's cool! I suppose I shouldn't generalize the birds so easily 😅
