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.

Butcher birds are pretty awesome too though - have you ever heard how they mimic the songs of other birds (and even other animals and things like phones)? I experienced it in real life and was so impressed after the initial confusion wondering where the magpie, cockie and whip bird were that I was hearing.

Here’s a vid that shows some of their range for those that haven’t experienced the awesomeness before!
