Magpies???

anyone have any tame ones around??? Real slow day at work so I've been outside near the break area quite a bit. Made friends with a couple magpies with some corn nuts and sugar smacks. They are out there waiting on me now and I have one coming up and perching on the barsof the window. About got it talked in to coming inside. They like shiny stuff I guess because they have been gathering bottle caps.
 
Corvidae.
Worlds smartest birds. Include ravens, crows magpies and a few others. Only bird known that likes to play.
I climbed up into a big pine tree one time and stole a young crow out of the nest. Raised him all summer, fed him softened dog food and whatever else he'd eat.
Was a fun pet. He hung around till late fall, early winter and then left. I thought he'd be back next year but never saw him again.
Yes they do love shiney objects. Sometimes I couldn't get it to come down from the tree or garage roof to feed it but it would sure come down for a scrap of tin foil. He had a hoard somewhere but I never could find it.
Don't know if he was male or female but he seemed like a guy.
I named him Jim.
Lot of small joy in doing as you are with those magpies.
