Excerpt from Hardwicke's Science-Gossip: An Illustrated Medium of Interchange and Gossip for Students and Lovers of Nature
Epping forest. I lately saw a new and popular natural history that did not mention this bird.
I one time had a tame magpie that was very sagacious; he would amuse himself by playing with a little dog, running and tumbling round and round a few old trees, only just keeping in front of the dog's nose, seemingly in a half-exhausted state; but when the dog was tired and would run no longer.
