they are such beautiful birds! From Wiki: "Magpies are believed to be among the most intelligent of animals...one of the few animals known to recognize itself in a mirror test."

if this is the one you see?

many of the rave-like birds are very intelligent.

they even can use tools.

sachikitten, yes exactly! They look adorable! I didn't know they were so smart

jacomobeltran: I'm thinking more and more of having a bird as a pet - do you have one? I might be rethinking that though because I also want a cat and a dog so - I'm not sure how I'll handle a cat AND a bird

under the same roof
