In our place, magpies are also called horsetail magpies. In fact, the magpie's reputation is not good, and there is a folk song that specifically mocks it: the horsetail magpie, the tail is long, take the daughter-in-law and forget the mother, carry the mother to the back of the room, and the daughter-in-law carries it to the kangtou.
In our place, in recent years, magpies seem to have no natural enemies, and their numbers have grown wildly, often flying around in the fields in groups, pecking at crops, and some even digging out seeds to eat, so that farmers are both angry and unable to do anything.
Even so, people still recognize magpies as an annunciation. If the magpie barks a few times in someone's branch, it will make people feel good all day.
It is a good thing for magpies to climb branches, but if magpies really build a nest in a tree in whose yard, will it be a great joy, or a joy to rejoice? This is really hard to say.
There was a family in the country, the yard was full of poplar trees, and a pair of magpies found a branch in the yard that they thought was suitable and built a nest. After a year, there are more and more magpies, the nest is getting bigger and bigger, and they are woken up by the magpies every morning. Come to think of it, this family must be a lot of good things, and it is more joyful. However, within three years, the daughter and wife of the family died one after another.
People don't blame magpies too much about this. However, as an auspicious bird and an annunciation bird, the magpie's vision is also too bad, right?
