What a cool bird
I have a mating pair that live in a tree opposite.
They live there because my neighbour has a habit of putting her bin bag out on the balcony to remind her to take it away.
The magpies rip it to bits every time, and every time it happens, she shouts at her cat.
I’m not telling her. The magpies are cleverer than my neighbour
I live in a building were one of my neighbours has 4 or 5 cats and has some mental problems and so at times will for no visible reason start shouting.
The cats couldn’t care less.
I suspect that of all creatures, a domesticated cat is probably one the least likely to be stressed by it, at least if it’s an usual thing.
Aussie magpies are ridiculously smart, love them as an example of convergent evolution since they are not corvids but rather songbirds that have evolved to be more crow-like to fill a similar niche to corvids
