@IntentionallyBLANK @SmudgeTheInsultCat Australian Magpies aren't corvids but are at least as intelligent. I wouldn't be at all surprised if their warbles contain significantly more information than the average bird call. I generally treat them like people. Tiny, skittish people who are known to hold grudges and pass them down to their offspring. I do my best not to piss them off and I'm pretty sure my dog's got the idea that I don't want her chasing them.
