[edit] MAGPIES
An account of the ecology and behaviour of both the black- and yellow-billed magpie in Europe and the USA. The author covers all aspects of their lives - marital relationships, food hoarding behaviour, longevity and survival, nesting behaviour, breeding success, and their relationship with man.
The last decade or so has seen a number of field studies, in Europe and the States, into the intricacies of the magpie way of life. The author has studied both species of magpie in Europe and the United States, and provides, in this text, an account of their ecology and behaviour. He covers all aspects of their lives - from marital relationships, food hoarding behaviour, longevity and survival, to nesting behaviour, breeding success, and their controversial relationship with man. 'Here is as fine a guide to understanding the behaviour of a wild bird as I can recall reading and from it the general birdwatcher will gain real insight into what local magpies are up to, especially in the breeding season...here is meticulous reviewing, heavily bolstered with the fruits of Birkhead's own scientific endeavours...you must read this book.' --Jim Reid, Scottish Bird News Illustrated by David Quinn.
