Magpies are very clever birds! They can look in a mirror and understand that they are seeing themselves and not another bird. That shows they have smart minds. Also, magpies make sounds that sound like rattling noises. You can say:

• Magpies are really smart because they know the bird in the mirror is them.
• These birds make funny rattling sounds.
• Magpies can recognize their own reflections, which is very clever!
• The noises magpies make sound like small rattles or clicks.
