This fox was snoozing on a shed roof in London. Magpies woke him and taunted him. To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email licensing@storyful.com
They just kill of all the fledglings and are affecting the bird population. When they can't kill chicks they kill small birds And when they can't kill birds they eat rubbish To many of them and it's a problem
Foxes are clever, but magpies and crows are geniuses. I've watched a pair of magpies taunt a cat so much, the cat actually went and hid under a car just to get away from them
He keeps trying to stalk them but they won't cooperate. This is why I'm fond of magpies. The Spanish word for magpie is Oraca, probably from the same root word as oration, mainly because magpies never shut up.
Lol! Such arrogant sneaky bastards! Funny to see two different kinds of sneaky clever animals in a stand-off. The magpies clearly have big faith in their own physical abilities to toy with a fox who is quick on his(her)feet as well. Magpies dont seem to have many enemies eventhough everyone is food for something every once in a while.
Urban foxes 🦊 actually do better now than countryside foxes, with all those lovely bins full of fast food that restaurants so kindly leave out for them, humans in general leave plenty of food waste, more than enough to feed them.
whoa I've never seen magpies from another country other than Australia! London's magpie's feathers so much smoother than Australian ones and it's tail makes it look sparrow-like too!
Mike M It might be even more than amusement. By toying with the fox, they can wear him down and go about their business. That fox won't waste his time hunting magpies and instead will seek out more predictable prey. They could just be amusing themselves, but who knows.
My Eurasian magpies try to get food from my dogs food bowl. They do this by one of them distracts him into the backyard(sometimes we leave thee door open) and the others will sneak into the house and get food
You obviously dont live in australia, These motherfuckin birds will literally fuckin swoop your head if you get too close to their tree (Which is every fuckin tree)
yeah there is that bald spot on the foxes head maybe the evil Superman got to him and lobotomized him I think it's more or less the fox isn't feeling well because his reaction seem to be pretty slow foxes are very quick and agile with a top running speed at 35 miles an hour
If you look closely you can actually see a wound on the fox's forehead. Looks old and scared but seems to be possibly a peck mark? I wonder if he has been taunted by large birds before and that is why he is being so cautious with them.
They are so completely a different bird to Australian magpies. Ours apparently arent real magpies. I live in a harsh environment and magpies here would not tolerate that fox for 500 metres. They only put up with me because I give them a little soaked dog kibble to sweeten the deal lol.
I am here cause one magpie flew on my house's outer windowsill...but she couldn't stand up there just banged window with her wings and flew off after moment. No one told to the magpie that this windowsill has no seat on it lol
Characters: Magpies Heckle and Jeckle and Foxy the Fox Heckle: Hey chum, lets get some water I'm thirsty! Jeckle: My, what's that weird looking animal? Heckle: Don't worry chum, he's not going to bite you. Foxy: That's what you think! Jeckle: See, he's stalking us each time we get near. Heckle: Listen chum, he's slower than a turtle on steroids! Foxy: Get lost! I already have major problems! Heckle: You certainly have you dumb animal on a roof!
This video shows nothing. I don't get it. That fox had no interest in eating or chasing the birds. The birds don't seem threatened or even aware of the fox. They know they can fly away in a snap. The birds are so confident they're ignoring the fox as anything but just a shape in the way. They aren't 'taunting' him whatsoever.
Animalspy is this in Abbeville Road? I used to live there and I think I have a photo of a family of foxes on the very same shed roof taken from my window!
magpies taunt my cat all the time, and she loves to try to hunt birds. she's small but she catches them and kills them every once and a while. magpies just stand there and make a lot of noise and it visibly upsets her that they don't show any fear, even trying to pull her tail.
I've seen magpies do this with cats as well - my cat in particular in the past. Foxes, like cats, are stealth predators; if the magpies face up to them, especially in a pair, then the fox/cat can't sneak up on them and this seems to stop any potential attack. Usually when magpies are doing this it's because they have a nest nearby and are distracting the predator's attention. When I watched this with my cat I at first assumed that they were playing and even maybe that they were bonding in some way. But I was wrong. When the magpies' fledglings eventually left the nest, my cat killed them, all of them, within a few minutes of each other. I actually felt a bit sorry for the magpies.
I love magpies :)
me too!
English magpies are different to the Australian ones.
My favorite bird.
They just kill of all the fledglings and are affecting the bird population.
When they can't kill chicks they kill small birds
And when they can't kill birds they eat rubbish
To many of them and it's a problem
@@hannahdyson5603 I admire their spirit but they are nasty creatures
That fox looks like he has tried to catch those birds a thousand times...
new version of Coyote and Road Runner

I'd love to see that! 😄
and I've watched Australian Magpies beat up on crows 😂
Heckle and Jeckle "Shall we drive this Fox crazy?" "Let's shall!"
The Magpies are saying "C'mon take a running start at us, and we'll move and you'll go flying off the roof." 🦊

The Spanish word for magpie Urraca.
Me tryna pick up chicks at the bar
No loss for the fox: those birds were probably too sour to eat.
This is so funny.
That fox looks like he woke up with a hangover XD
He's not even trying to hunt the magpies
He sure wants to though.
Umm an adult fox knows hunting magpies isn't possible. Unless injured or babies.

Q. Why did the magpies taunt the fox?
A. To prove they weren’t chicken.🤣😂😊
I can't believe there is wonderful wildlife like this in London. I've never ever seen a fox, not even in the countryside.
My brother says: oh so you have foxes walking around like cats?!
Me: yes that's correct!
Urban foxes 🦊 actually do better now than countryside foxes, with all those lovely bins full of fast food that restaurants so kindly leave out for them, humans in general leave plenty of food waste, more than enough to feed them.
Fox look like it's too weak from hunger to catch those 2 rascals 😎
It's over, fox! WE HAVE THE HIGHER GROUND!

Also some foxes: *climbs trees*

They're not related. The homesick British settlers called the Australian birds magpies, but they're completely different.
Magpies know that fox won't lunge at them when they are near the the edge of the roof . Very smart .
Such intelligent, hilarious birds, although the fox would probably disagree! ;)
Fox can't charge or he'd fly off the roof...
Poor fox has a hard life
And here we have the 2 of the best species on the planet.
It's heckle and Jeckle.
Hmm... I always thought they were crows but they are clearly magpies.
Magpies playing mind games. Outfoxing the fox.
"Hi'ya, chum--let's annoy Dimwit the Fox!"
"Oh I say, capital idea! Lead on, old bean!"
Life imitating cartoons.
The birds are just amusing themselves. The fox doesn't even know why it's there.

I feel like those birds are just hanging around until the roofies kick in.
The magpies double-teamed the fox. Clever birds!
Two of my favorite animals!
Same here
You obviously dont live in australia,
These motherfuckin birds will literally fuckin
swoop your head if you get too close to their tree
(Which is every fuckin tree)
@@jaydenhpiano5600 Different animal, not even a corvid.
@@jaydenhpiano5600 Go and friend them with a bag of fresh mince. Once they see you're not a threat to them, they won't swoop anymore
I have seen other magpies pull animal's tails on here. They enjoy doing it.
I'm wondering how the fox got on the roof?
He was outfoxed.
Did the fox get a lobotomy?
sequorroxx seems to have a bald patch on its forehead
yeah there is that bald spot on the foxes head maybe the evil Superman got to him and lobotomized him I think it's more or less the fox isn't feeling well because his reaction seem to be pretty slow foxes are very quick and agile with a top running speed at 35 miles an hour
They can work together like a Wolfe and a raven...it is an Offerte
If you look closely you can actually see a wound on the fox's forehead. Looks old and scared but seems to be possibly a peck mark? I wonder if he has been taunted by large birds before and that is why he is being so cautious with them.
It's those same two magpies, they've been messing with him for years!
The fox is hungry, and it knows it can't catch a magpie, but it's the only thing there is to hunt.
How the fox even got up there is testament to their difference from dogs.
Them birds are like giants. I heard they can give a pretty good bite
They are so completely a different bird to Australian magpies. Ours apparently arent real magpies. I live in a harsh environment and magpies here would not tolerate that fox for 500 metres. They only put up with me because I give them a little soaked dog kibble to sweeten the deal lol.
This Foxi looks so sad.
those are quite portly Magpies and the Fox looks kind of lean adding to the torment; wonder if the Magpies are aware of that point?
poor fox
More like yay party that fox was insulted cuz everyone shall hate foxes
Lovely heathly looking fox
Looks like it's o.ding on morphine.
Fox be like; Is this a snack I see before me? Come let me munch thee.
two of my favorite animals!
I am here cause one magpie flew on my house's outer windowsill...but she couldn't stand up there just banged window with her wings and flew off after moment. No one told to the magpie that this windowsill has no seat on it lol
Cool but it looks like the Fox had a wound on it's head,as mentioned in a couple of other comments,maybe even a slug gun wound?.
how did those magpies get onto that roof?
They have wings???
StiltonGaming Forget the magpies, how did the fox get on that roof!?
you dont say
They climbed the ladder of course
So many whooosh
What's up, bro ?
You're in the wrong hood, bro
Whatcha gonna do, bro?
Look how they try to draw the fox to the edge so he will fall. Those magpies are smart.
Swipey noo swiping🤣 “sneaky” 🦊
Fox wants to eat them!...but confused because they are smarter than his usual meal....chickens..
magpies will drop twigs on you. its hilarious.
It's like the alternative version of the coyote vs the roadrunner
Characters: Magpies Heckle and Jeckle and Foxy the Fox
Heckle: Hey chum, lets get some water I'm thirsty!
Jeckle: My, what's that weird looking animal?
Heckle: Don't worry chum, he's not going to bite you.
Foxy: That's what you think!
Jeckle: See, he's stalking us each time we get near.
Heckle: Listen chum, he's slower than a turtle on steroids!
Foxy: Get lost! I already have major problems!
Heckle: You certainly have you dumb animal on a roof!
God I wish we had these where I live~
All I see is a nosy fox who won't go back to sleep.
Taunting. 15 yard penalty.
Poor fox! Love the sassy birds.
magpies are the shittiest birds -i guess the fox is ill, either they wait to he dies to eat carcasses or his poop ... magpies eat dog shit
It's too bad you can't love them both. They are both part of the natural order and wonderful animals in themselves.
Super Smash Bros. Melee (Gamecube, 2001)
almost like watching those old catoon were the predator made fun of by the pray
It's "C-a-R-t-o-o-n".........
Fox & Magpies on a hot Tin roof
Looks like a spinoff of the road runner and coyote show starring the fox and magpie.
Bet their names are Heckle and Jeckle, lol.
Have you seen the magpie and the dog vid-play fighting...
Yes. There's a few around actually..
amazing
They double teamed that fox
All beautiful darlings ❤️❤️❤️
Look how primitive fox looks compared to magpies. Who is the dinosaur here?
magpies taunt cars and foxes so much in my garden
I'm not sure the fox felt taunted. Still good to watch though. I have been watching a pair of magpies outside my window and hence I came here.

Magpies here look way different. Where was this filmed?
That is the slowest fox ever, he should of had chicken dinner
Plus ca change, plus cest la Meme chose... Cest tu.
They ain't dumb. they even abuse crows around my gaffs
Brave birds....
I love magpies too I think they're my spirit animal 😂
Animalspy is this in Abbeville Road? I used to live there and I think I have a photo of a family of foxes on the very same shed roof taken from my window!
No. This is East London.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. Memory plays tricks ;)
Fox could have taunt them back by saying ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding....
the prey fu***ng with the predator...love it.
Can u talk without cussing
Fox has got to the east to 💕💜💙
But, why is the fox on the roof.
Those Magpies know what time it is. If that fox were really serious they wouldn't be there I bet.
paxwallacejazz They know exactly what they're doing.

@@Shockking21 Dont let your cat out otherwise it might get shot/run-over... czcams.com/video/gxUTl_xd9u0/video.html
Yep lol
This fox is like me when I smoke weed
I love magpies too! I think they figure this fox ain't too bright!
those magpies. . . are Trader Mags and Bubbles e.e
that fox. . . is Siffrin e.e
Guardians of Ga'Hoole and/or Foxcraft anyone?
Hell yeah!
that ain't falco
I love foxes
:apple:

Sometimes they do it for fun
This is the show Wiley Coyote ripped off :P
😆😆😆😆
кто видел белку? Лису накормить.

Then what are they :/
And by the way bird r what evolved from dinosaurs of course they're aggressive aren't you human descendant? Or we would not b hereCx
Stupid for he could have catch it easily
that's not a fox that's Wyle e Coyote!!!😀
It is a fox. Wile.e coyote is an imaginary character from the looney tunes show
Eh?
Meep meep
I love this Magpies, so seriously naughty. Is this your Fox? I wish I could have 😘 kissed them
