YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious of photographing birds.
There are many collective nouns for groups of magpies, but perhaps the most common are a mischief, conventicle, congregation, charm and tribe of magpies. Like crows, magpies are sometimes referred to as a murder, and like owls, they’re sometimes referred to as a parliament.
Oh wow!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice tribe of magpies, great photo.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
did not know any of these. i like tribe and mischeif
ReplyDeleteThey are by any name you care to give them noisy, brash, charming individuals with character and personality. Would that our politicians had such attributes.
ReplyDeleteOH boy you caught each bird perfectly

I enjoy hearing what groups of birds are called...which of the names do you think fits the best?

Deletewell, knowing them as I do, I think a Mischief is the best! Yxx
I think a "Mischief of Magpies" is very fitting, LOL
