This bird of striking color and song “is thought to rank among the world's most intelligent creatures, and is one of the few nonmammalian species able to recognize itself in a mirror test. Magpies have shown the ability to make and use tools, imitate human speech, grieve, play games, and work in teams.” That if from Wikipedia. This bird was photographed near Banff, Canada. Love to see these birds and hear their songs. Reminds me of my Western trips.
