They sound like a lot of fun to have around although perhaps annoying sometimes as well I like how they work as a group to steal things.

Hi all,

They were in a building that had public walkways going throughout, so plenty of opportunity for them to cause trouble. We did worry about escapes...in that type of building, most birds stay well away from public, so double doors are adequate...not so with these. Actually, a pair of Red-billed Blue Magpies did figure out how to pry off a ventilation screen, and nearly made their way out through the ceiling!

Best, Frank
