This Oriental magpie appears daily behind my house especially when I open my window and back door. I was puzzled and then one day discovered why it liked to perch at my plants - it is preying for food.
When I open my door, sometimes a hiding lizard will have to come out of hiding and I will chase it out. Thats when the magpie catch it and eat it.
Holding onto lizzie. Another magpie was nearby watching and this magpie shrieked noisily to chase the other away.
With the other magpie gone, yummy lizard breakfast begins.(Magpies - their bird calls (or is it singing) is pleasant to listen to).
