    Nice little haiku mate. I have had them swoop me on the golf course. Lol I am very wary of them now
    Cheers

      We have three who visit every day and warble for their bread scraps. They are quite lovely. No danger at all. appreciate your comments, my friend.

    We have a lot of magpies around here. I love your poem and can identify.

      When we moved here some months ago we inherited three birds who had been fed by the previous tenants. They are wild birds but very tame wild birds. I was trying out a 3-5-3 form of Haiku. The magpie fitted in OK. Thanks again for your comments.

    Yes. You have the Maggie down pat. Three lines that described this beautiful bird to the tee. Don't you just love their songs in the early morning telling you that the new day has arrived, albeit, if not a little early at times.

      Our pet Maggies are a real treat, every morning, they fly in from wherever their nests are and warble for us. Then go for the most of the day to return about 3.30 in the afternoon.
      Many thanks again for your supportive comments.
