ha ha ,i was tempted mate,but years ago when i was a ten year old before i kept birds of prey i had a young magpie for 2 years flew it ,it was a proper pet very clever bird and very good to train ,so i fancy giving another one a go,they have such a bad name and they deserve itbut i will leave these ones alone for the time being

Yes I have heard of them being trained from chicks before and as you say, incredibly smart!
