    Is that when you decided that being dry wasn't in your future?

    What's wrong with you people? We'd never give our Eagles wedgies. You actually identify the breed you're going after and wonder why they're always pissed. You try walking around, let alone flying, with a wedgie.

    I'm trying to breed magpies and wedge tails. Just imagine the fun and mayhem.

    I've taken a second look and determined Aussies are correct on fearing these angry birds. They've gone soft and don't exactly need birds kicking their asses all the time.

    Barry walks into a bar with a newt on his shoulder.

    The barmaid looks at the creature and asks the man what he calls it.

    ”Tiny,” answers Barry.

    “Why's that?” enquires the barmaid.

    ‘Because he's my newt' concludes Barry.

    If you're not too polite, these big birds too.

    I hear you there I live in Texas I found water moccasins and copperheads and black widows in my own yard they mostly leave you alone.

    I haven't seen a magnify in person before they might just not live on this continent I don't know. We have two bird species that are really quite aggressive and I hate them both. Mockingbirds and blue jays.

    What about that drop bears I heard when they fall out of the tree they don't just eat your face they eat your soul. Is that a dead meme?

    Magpies do live on the American continent.
    The black billed magpie (also known as American magpie) live in the north west USA.
    They are also found in Asia, Africa and Europe.
    Most are aggressive when they have young to protect but only the Aussie variety are total psychos that attack people on sight.

    Why does that qualify them as total psychos? From what I hear they tend to win those battles.

    I trust you I don't know I was just never seen them they must not live in my area. Perhaps i ve never noticed them. Perhaps the mockingbirds have ran them off because they kill other birds right?

    My husband feeds our neighbourhood Maggie’s. Sometimes forty of them! Very noisy and we aren’t able to BBQ on our verandah because of them. They are smart birds and not aggressive toward us.
    Not loved by all of our neighbours unfortunately. Magpie manure decor is probably a sophisticated taste.

    Our magpies just behave like the crows. Searching for beetles in the grass and picking bugs off the sheep.
    You're supposed to greet it and show respect by lifting your hat if you see a single magpie.
    Has this superstition travelled to Australia?

    https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2020/...le are told that he,that they saw two magpies.
