Resident magpie has turned into a no fucks given thief. Stole my toast.
I'll forgive her as she's taking out the resident mudlarks (which are very hard to get out of the house when they get in).
But I think the oddest thing (and I might be imagining things) is that she understands the concept of 'inside' is a no go zone. She's come in a few times but it seems like she respects the boundary and just hangs outside the open door.
The few times she has come inside she'll just waddle out no stress involved. Never chased her out of the house, she just casually follows.
She's a sneaky one food-wise but I swear they know difference (b/w inside and outside) which is pretty wild to think about. Very opportunistic creatures but with self imposed limits.
