The Secret Life of Magpies

The Secret Life of Magpies Fact-packed. Feather-filled. Slightly chaotic. Think magpies are just noisy birds that steal stuff and shout at each other? Think again. In this book, you'll uncover the wild truth about one of the cleverest, boldest, most misunderstood birds around. Meet the magpie: part genius, part troublemaker, all attitude. We'll bust the biggest bird myths (spoiler: they probably don't want your jewellery), take a peek inside their over-the-top nests (so messy), and reveal what's really going on when they start cackling in the trees. They hold bird funerals. They fight dirty. They recognise themselves in the mirror. They even mourn. Follow a magpie through the seasons, get to know magpies from all over the world, and find out how to spot the drama unfolding right in your own garden. Oh, and there's a ridiculous fact section (you're welcome) plus a quiz to figure out what kind of bird you are. Perfect for curious minds, bird lovers, and anyone who's ever wondered what that magpie on the fence is plotting. Once you've read this, you'll never look at a black-and-white bird the same way again.
