Preview

The magpie - this black and white bird with a shimmering sheen is just as much at home in parks, gardens and forest edges as it is in the middle of the city. For some, it is a symbol of cleverness and adaptability, for others a cheeky thief who is after shiny objects. But the magpie is much more than a bird with an ambivalent reputation. Its way of life, intelligence and behavior make it one of the most exciting animals in our native bird world. Immerse yourself with me in the world of magpies and discover their characteristics, abilities and the role they play in mythology and science.
