The art of befriending a magpie or not!

My last adventure in my backyard consisted of climbing that tree - that i love dearly - and checking out what was alive there...and guess what? there was a nest! Now that gives me the goosebumps, my blood goes up and down and my tail is frantically guiding me to THE NEST...so as nonchalant as i can be..i approached the living quarters of Twitty bird. That's when big mama paid attention and attacked me!!! These magpie are CRRRRRAZZZZY.....she's what? the size of a chick pea compare to me but you know what??? she's got some kind of missile firing ability...oh my! i was aiming straight for the ground and even the ground was not enough to hide. I had to imitate a missile flying 2 inches from the ground! That was PART ONE!!!
I did not mention but my little tranquil outing was early on in the day...PART TWO was surviving the rest of the day - considering big mama missile was watching my every moves...yeah I know not very smart to hunt in my backyard...well usually I WIN! So I spent my day literally laying low...Nothing would stop this big mama from attacking me...to the point that my house mates were alerted by the din...and showed up on the patio...that distraction was my way out..I dived for the door....phew....PART THREE consisted of recollecting myself and getting my honor back in 1 word: resting!
