      Since their communication is very complex (I would even say it borders on being genuine language), playing a recording of a random assortment of calls must be so fucking confusing, lmao.
      It's like someone screaming absolute nonsense into the wind! Especially since these calls seem to be ones of stress or alarm. Good prank!

    • @necroseus
      @necroseus Pƙed 19 dny

      ​@@jennybuxton4532 I don't know how much I agree with calling an animal "horrid" for eating...
      Magpies have existed in many areas of the world for thousands of years and they have never severely affected other bird populations. On the other hand, stray cats have, in as little as 200 years, driven many birds to endangerment. If you want to complain about baby birds being eaten, look at cats. Furthermore, plenty of humans eat baby animals, too.
      Magpies also prey upon tons of insects and keep their numbers in check. Especially insects which are very damaging to crops. They are incredibly smart for birds, too, and are comparable in intellect to human children. Many people shoot and kill them for being "horrid," but it's pretty much like shooting a kindergartener for being annoying.
      I understand if you don't like them, but please try to not spread bad stereotypes that aren't actually accurate.

    These birds are possibly the most fascinating ,beautiful and very intelligent ones in the family ...........if you get one in a spot of bother from other magpies secure them and water and feed them........you will get appreciation back from them trust me. or in general if you get close enough leave them bread ,rice or fruit they love it and a bowl of water ,youll be their best friend trust me

      Don't give them bread it's not recommended for them, hidrated cat food can work.
      I'm taking care of a fledging boy atm, he got severe aspergillosis, I thought he was going to die but now he is super happy and alive.
      I have an empty room so I leave him there with everything, when I wake up I go to check him and give him his medicine and he starts running from side to side, just like a happy dog haha.
      Then he jumps in to my shoulder, I'm in love with this one, I rescued other birds in the past but this is by far the most intelligent, social and lovely bird I met!

    I saw a Magpie having a real row with a squirrel once. It was in Stanley Park, Blackpool. I don't know if it was because the bird was near the squirrel's babies or vice-versa, but they were really going at it - verbally.

    To be clear, this is the Eurasian Magpie not the Australian one which has a completely different song. Australian ones whistl, are larger and swoop viciously to protect their nests/surroundings during spring.

    I feed & water some Magpies & they are very smart birds. Of course, a few people complain about these birds because they can be loud. I have one very rude neighbor & a few weeks ago she started cussing at me because I was outside. I was rude back to her, but I wish I hadn't been. Because in a couple of hours, the Magpies had pooped all over her car. The birds have only done this to her car! It was very funny & the perfect come-back for this lady. Now she doesn't park right in front of my Townhouse.
