Magpie vs Magpie

HOW DID I NOT REALISE THIS?

I guess it explains why european literature portrays them as adorable cheeky thieves rather than violent unexpected death from above...(It really is true: in Australia, even the adorable little birds are deadly)

Oooooh, the european magpie is a kind of jay. That does make more sense.

And if you think nesting magpies are bad, you should try bloody willy wagtails. (OK they may be tiny, but they make up for it in temper!)

Yeah, but they are *so* cute when they are pissed off! =)

That's the problem! Swatting a magpie out of the air never bothered me, but I'm not capable of hurting a wagtail. Even when the little sods are sitting in my hair pecking me.
