Team Magpie

Heckle and Jeckle   (Fair Use)

One magpie can be frustrating enough, but when they work together, look out now!

And work together they do.  When Australian researchers affixed tracking devices onto a group of these tricksters, guess what happened? 

The magpies outsmarted the humans by helping one another to “remove the trackers.”  They did so by snapping each other’s “harness at the only weak point.”
