Clever Magpie

[Stev52]

Hi Everyone
In my garden I have a bird Table and a bird Bath and the last few days I have been watching a Magpie. Some old bread left on the Table as gone a bit hard so this clever Magpie as been picking up pieces of the old bread taking it to the bird bath dipping it in the water to soften it up then eating it how clever is that.

Corvids such as Magpies do this frequently. They are amongst the most intelligent of birds.

Watch this, its amazing how clever birds can be with a piece of bread. Some will have seen it before, some may not have seen it.

I think I read somewhere that most corvids can count up to two, but the raven up to three...Bob

As others have said the crow family are very "clever". Although I have seen a magpie, for want of better words, beat a sparrow to death, magpies are, in my opinion, magnificent birds.
