Next chapter is "magpie and humans". 😱

So many numbers and graphs in this book. 😵‍💫

Saw a crow chase a magpie while reading this at the bus station today and I was like "ah, yes. I see. 🤓"

Today I learned that female birds develop a sort of tubes to store the their partner's seed for up to 10 months which can also include spum from multiple birds. Very cool!

I "befriended" a pair of magpies over the last couple months and they're now building a nest in the tree across the street.
Gotta start learning about these friends, so I can be a good neighbor and uncle to their offspring.
