Beautiful! I love it.
I saw my first live magpie last week at my sister’s house in Utah.
What a fun post for WW.

Great pic. Looks like the real one is making a real point of ignoring the pretender.

Yes I thought that too Jonno! I often wonder if they get confused and think it’s actually real, but I guess I’ll never know that 🙂

Thanks Hugh, it was great timing, as we often see them come down to sit with the ‘other’ magpie but I’ve never quite manage to capture it before! I wonder if they think it’s a real one when they come and sit on the fence post??

I’ve seen some wildlife documentaries where a robotic animal is placed amongst other wild animals, Debbie. It was interesting to see how most of the animals were inquisitive about the robotic version of themselves.

That’s a good point Hugh. They always seem inquisitive and curious about the magpie that never moves!
