I suspected these young magpies were getting a bit bold so I set up a cam.
I was shocked to see them come right into my kitchen and steal food from a plate.
Needless to say I wont be leaving my window open again.
The European Magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all animals.
The expansion of its neostriatum is approximately the same in its relative size as is found in chimpanzees, orangutans and humans.
In Scotland the magpie was once believed to carry a drop of the Devil's blood under its tongue which perhaps stems from another belief that the magpie was the only bird not to wear full mourning at the Crucifixion.
It also was the only bird that would not enter the Ark preferring to stay outside.
