Magpie looking to snack on what mamma is protecting. Keep your guard up, momma!

    I love how the magpie keeps looking back at the LEO like “Is she still there…? Aww man, she is!”

      I picture it as a “fake” in sports where you try to make it seem you’re going one way and then pounce if you fool your opponent.

      As long as momma can keep her booty planted on that nest, magpie won’t be able to snatch anyone. I’m hoping poppa owl was able to get back while momma was stalling and together they were able to keep everyone safe.

      The original post presented this as “caption this silly video” type of thing, but as a nice surprise most of the comments said it’s not really funny, that magpie is trying to snatch eggs/babies for dinner. Magpie’s gotta eat too, but we’re team owl here!
