A bit of humour

Someone recently told me that magpies can recognise faces. So given I feed a number of them twice daily I should be ok. The things that swoop around here are the wattlebirds who are extremely aggressive and fearless, they will have a real good go. Drives our dog crazy
 
They certainly do recognise people not totally convinced it is facial recognition.
Living in the Hunter Valley magpies nested every year in a tree next door.In spring an adult would fly down ,sit on my shoulder and be fed worms or grubs.But if a person rode a bike down the road the magpie would take off,dive bomb the cyclist then come back and sit on my shoulder.

Moved to the Sunshine Coast and within a week the same thing was happening.Really shouldn't be that they recognised my face.
