The Magpie Pica pica One for sorrow, two for joy, Three for a girl, four for a boy, Five for silver,six for gold, Seven for a secret not to be told. Eight for a wish, nine for a kiss, Ten for a bird that's best to be miss. |

I'm not suspicious, but was glad to see two Magpies high up in the tree tops, and not one!:) The black and white colour pattern, and extreemly long tail, with a metallic sheen, unfortunately not seen in these poor images, make the Magpie unmistakable. |

I like the rhyme! So, I'll probably be counting Magpies when I next time meet them ;)
I'm like you and not suspicious but always happier to see two rather than one Magpie. Nice pictures.
Cute poem and photos.. Thanks for sharing your Magpies! Happy Wednesday!
Far from being my favourite bird, and out of interest I was 2 years and 2 days when war broke out and a lady should never give her age away.
Great post! I'll take TWO for joy.
I too had the same thought: Two for joy!
Lovely birds.
what a cute riddle. :)
Two Magpies, joy!!
Nice that you spotted these lovely birds.
They're handsome birds. I haven't heard that rhyme before.
Great to see another Magpie!!!! We have one here in Colorado. Cool birds!
Sweet TWO Magpies♡♡♡ I love being able to see birds I won't have chance with poor national environment around my area. Oh, wonderful poem or riddle; as my parents and bro had gone, I hate being alone in my house when my husband is out, haha.
ps. not for the Pampas Grass but we have so MANY superstitions p:)
Beijinhos to you too from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Great birds for wild bird wednesday! Neat rhyme!
Son muy lindas. Besitos.
So you too have published magpie photos!!
It has been a while since I had the opportunity to take a few pics of these guys!
I prefer them to the crows invading our property!
Keep well!
I taught my kids that Magpie "poem" when we were in the UK - nice to see it elsewhere as well.

I love seeing photos of magpies as we don't have them in central Ontario. I don't know why as western Ontario does have them.
lovely, two magpies, lots of joy!!! love Sue
Sroki też mają w sobie piękno:)
Wonderful photography! These are beautiful birds!!
I would love to see a Magpie, they are spectacular!
A lot of people dislike this magpie but I love it. My cats are scared for it. Lovely to see two at the same time.
Have a wonderful weekend Sonjia
A perfect pairing of photos and rhyme.
Love magpies! I saw my first one in Oregon last year. Cute poem!
What a cute poem stands by 1, 2, etc.
I had never heard before but I find it only to read in the pictures of the magpies.
