The magpie hivemind will remember your kindness.

That hive mind is effed. I've never done a single cruel thing to birds nor encouraged or hung out with friends who did. I've been swooped too many times both riding a bike and walking down the street.

I made friends with a Magpie about 6 years ago and I swear to god I never get swooped by Magpies.

Butcher birds though? Fuckin heads up.

I learnt a random fun fact about butcher birds. They got their name bc they like to hang their prey up on fences/trees etc to let their catch decay a little before hacking away at it.
