and they have loooong memories! Apparently they can remember up to 50 faces,
so if you've ever flapped at one in anger (or terror g).... be afraid!

We used to have one living in a tree in our front yard. It never ever
attacked us, although it swooped other people's cats etc...

I have been hand feeding magpies for about 15 years. They are now 2
distinct families, and never come for feeding at the same time (obviously
birds have some form of gentlemen's agreements too). I would have to say
the average age is 12 years, some longer, some not so long.

I've read 20-25 years, possibly in Burke's Backyard magazine.
