Description
In the spring, large numbers of Magpies often gather to resolve territorial conflicts and social standing. These gatherings, called parliaments, probably gave rise to the many nursery rhymes and poems about Magpies, such as:
One for sorrow, two for joy;
Three for a girl, four for a boy;
Five for silver, six for gold;
Seven for a secret, never to be told;
Eight for a wish, nine for a kiss;
Ten for a bird that's best to miss.
Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments on my "My 100th Photograph" and a special thanks to Lynell "Tennesseecowgirl" for her 'awesome notes' and tuition on how to make thumbnails for my previous posts.
