I have to say I love Magpies. One of the most intelligent and mimicking birds around. Their songs are glorious, when I hear them I know I am home.

One Christmas, we had Magpjes and 12 Kookaburras including the fat babies for lunch.
This one remembers me, I know it. Everyone in the street feeds the bird in the park across the road, including me, but he only swoops me.

I am talking about those pesky birds that rain hell down from the sky, well not even all of them, just the one at the end of my street that swoops me and only me. He and I are now in our annual battle for supremacy of my street, I refuse to run from this menace and turn to face him every time, I plan on landing a punch on this fiend mid swoop. The lines have been drawn.
Happen to me :angry: Especially annoying when you prepare to serve and need uninterrupted concentration!@happy_tiger said in [I hate magpies\!\!\!\!\!](/post/1225453) said:@TillLindemann said in [I hate magpies\!\!\!\!\!](/post/1225402) said:@Sausagesorcerer said in [I hate magpies\!\!\!\!\!](/post/1225399) said:Such joy seeing someone else get swooped

He’ll never forget you. Better do what CB said and feed him some mince, then you’ll be pals forever.
