Around here, the black-billed magpie is the one that likes to interrupt all of the other birds with it's chattering rambles. I noticed they lie to each other. One pretends to hide food and starts yelling about it, then his friends take notice and start talking. "I'm going to go steal it!" Then another one is like, "NO, it's mine! I'm going to go steal it!" That goes on for quite awhile, then the first one is finished pretending to hide food and leaves. The others swoop in and start yapping. "Where the hell is it!" "Yeah, what's going on here!" Meanwhile, the first one is off eating the food he stashed when he was quiet and while nobody else was looking except me.
