wouldn't it be fun to look out and see this in your backyard? I believe this was seen in Australia.

The black and white bird on the ground (left) caught my eye! I wonder what he's thinking?

@Venezia. That's a Magpie and they are usually conjuring some evil deed.

We have them in many parts of the USA and Canada.

@Kachina624 - One of the most common rhymes about magpies (there are longer versions and variations, but this is the one I usually hear):

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

I used to have the large green parrots show up on my apple tree. They would eat the fruit and we were okay with that as there were too many for us to eat.
