One for Sorrow

I think Magpies are much misunderstood, I think they're beautiful birds

Your magpies look different to ours and I agree they are beautiful birds..Ours in Australia have the prettiest song out of all the birds and I think they get a bad rap. I had a magpie for years as a pet and she was beautiful, it broke my heart when she died.

Do you still have the same nursery rhyme for them?:

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret
Never to be told.

We have them here too and I think they are great birds, and easy to make pets out of.

Nice shot. I like magpies, and they're the very first models for my bird shooting.
