The magpies were singing for their breakfast, despite the cold rainy weather

Close-up photo of an Australian magpie facing forward with its beak open. The bird is black and white, with a pale grey bill. A small wisp of visible breath can be seen in front of its open beak, indicating cold air. The background is soft and out of focus, lit in warm yellow and brown tones.

We call ours the magpie mafia, because they come and strongarm us every morning. Hoppy (the magpie in this photo) will ignore the meal worms we throw out, and will just yell at us until we cough up cake, or bread. If we ignore him and leave him to the meal worms, he just comes back later and yells at us again. He has started coming in to the house to really make sure we understand the gravity of the situation.
