I’ve visited this site because of the following. t’s been a very hot day with our windows and doors wide open to the garden.. I heard a crash upstairs and thought perhaps we had an intruder in the house. On inspection it was a magpie trapped in a bathroom.. This filled me with foreboding as my mother who was Irish had always said single Magpie are a bad omen., especially if they enter one’s home. Anyway I managed to rescue the bird and released him and blew him a kiss as he headed off to a Silver Birch.. I hope it’s done the trick,

In reply to Rob J. I wouldn't worry about it at all. By the sound of it the bird got trapped in the garage and probably died of hunger - totally natural and of no significance.

I just came home from spending time with my folks for Christmas. It’s been 3 weeks since I saw my partner. He kept this a secret for weeks. Finally told me he found a dead magpie under his car that has been in a closed garage for nearly a year. I came here to look for answers. What does this mean? It was 1 dead magpie not 3, shout we be spitting on its shoulder and chanting ? But we no longer have the body. My partner said he swept it onto the neighbours yard. Please help. We need answers.

A different question – why should 4 magpies signify imminent death when they mean 4 for a boy or 4 for a birth?

I have tried to find out if the saying goes any higher than 10 but without success. I saw 14 magpies together some years ago and have wondered what that meant. Are you aware of any such information?

My full name is Margaret, Maggie for short, and people used to call me Magpie a lot(some still do). Yes I talk a lot
Yes my room is also never tidy

Magpies are my favorite bird. They have so much interesting superstition around them, and they’re so pretty =)

I came home to find a dead magpie in my house. I am relatively certain that my mama cat caught it and was trying to teach her kittens to hunt. I’m just curious about superstitions and their origins regardind this.
