MAGPIE

Pica pica  

I have made my own observations of the magpie in Bory Tucholskie (Tucholskie Forests) - near Wdzydzkie Lake. I spent my hollidays there and I paid attention to this individual.  The magpie I saw, moved calmly among people, and it could land on someones book or rub a cigarette from his package! The reason of such behaviour is the following. When the magpie was young it felt down from its nest, as people say. Then some people took care of the magpie, brought it up, so it got accustomed. Now it shows interest in human life - it flies close to men and it's not affraid of them. It is specially interested of all shiny details.
