Assemble a doll-sized mini book: Well, he drew a magpie and his hair. Visitors can collect all the illustrations and verses of the birds “bird children” To print and build a little book of poetry for their dolls. Simply drag each png file. In the Word document, print, cut out all the pictures to the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze some white school glue along the pointed edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.
Magpies are chatty – That’s the truth –
naughty, disobedient young man;
We must not judge him, but rather assume
He does what he knows best.

ODD TRICK OF MAGPIE TAME
The following incident will show how animals and birds sometimes play tricks on each other. Old Toller was a large mastiff, who was chained on a farm as a watchman. The tame magpie used to hop around the kennel, and seems to be on very good terms with the mastiff, except that he teased him whenever he got the chance. Sometimes the magpie would steal parts of the dog’s dinner, shouting, “Drag! All the time.” Another trick he was fond of was jumping on the farmer’s stick when it was given to the dog to pick it up. The dog would hold the stick in his mouth as long as he could, then let it fall suddenly, and seemed to enjoy the magpie’s shriek and flapping of its wings when the bird fell to the ground.Although the bird teased him, the mastiff always kept his cool, and never tried to hurt his avian companion in any way.
