Most people don’t consider Magpies to be anything other than a common bird species, but these creatures are actually incredibly curious and intelligent animals. While these animals are wild and should be left alone barring some extenuating circumstance, some Magpies have been successfully adopted as pets.
Sqwark, the Magpie in this video, lives with Bonnie Thompson and her dog Whiskey in Australia. You might not think that a dog and a Magpie would – or even could – be friends, but these guys don’t seem to think that there is anything remotely unusual about their friendship.
