Hi there, nice to have a pheasant visit I had a magpie at my front door but a pheasant is so much more interesting. Chrisb
Do you say "Hello Mr Magpie" to him to ward off bad luck in Australia?
Is the magpie rhyme part of Australian folk lore?
"One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven is a secret never to be told
Eight is a wish and
Nine is a kiss
Ten is a bird you must not miss"
