My sister who lives there, called them 'Messerschmitts'(German fighter in WW2), because of their behaviour. since then we can only think of Magpies like that.

But that has nothing to do with your song about that bird. You made a lovely song with very nice lyrics!
I also had that question Ray had; why call the song Magpie when the crow had the most attention? But never mind.
I enjoyed this song, the vocals and the vocal harmony.

Thanks Hans, magpies can indeed be aggressive and launch themselves at your head.
