Like, I'm not a very superstitious person, but whenever I see magpies, I do do the thing in my head and I'll see one and I'll be like, oh, it's one magpie.

So we've got a question in from one of the listeners.

What bird always cheers you up?

I can go first if you want.

No, I shouldn't have said that.

I gave you an out.

I think...

i really like long-tailed tits like i know it's quite a simple garden bird but they're so cute and they always are like hanging out in these flocks and i just think they're such sweet birds they're so energetic and i'm always in a good mood when i see them i think i'm just going to start listing birds now they stay out later than the other they do yeah you know what i mean they went on the peanuts and seeds they

Yeah, and when it's really cold in the winter, they, like, are all really squeezed in together and kind of piled on top of each other to keep warm and stuff, which is also very cute.

Yeah.

You know what, I'm not... Rooks.

Same, actually.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

Yeah.

i feel like also like i'm not a very superstitious person but whenever i see magpies yeah i do do the thing in my head and i'll see one and i'll be like oh it's one magpie but then i'll see two and i'll just go oh two for joy and then i'll be like all right yeah two for joy i've seen two magpies yeah and it's like it's such a i don't know why i just never really yeah is it something you grow up i don't know i don't think so i'm still doing it yeah

I'm serious.

It's just nice to kind of see a couple of birds and be like, oh, OK, today's going to be a good day then.

Do you remember?

That's amazing.

Yeah, yeah, it takes some time, doesn't it?
