International Magpie Day
In 2017, the Magpie was voted
The Australian ‘Bird of the Year’
They are playful, cheeky, and enjoy sunbathing
Magpies are caring parents, and recognise people
And uniquely the magpie’s song
Is one of Australia’s most quintessential sounds
So, on this special spring day
Friday the 13th of September
I, now decree it to be
“International Magpie Day”

Good poem. I may have already said that our magpies are predators of eggs and small birds

We love Magpies to and for all the same reasons…
our guys look a tad different to yours and definitely don’t make the same sounds 💜💜
