A pair of A. Ravens here always dip their food into the water source and
 have started doing the same with nesting sticks. Is this odd or normal?

The coir doormat at our backdoor (Ainslie) is presumably providing nest ?lining for this magpie (I think only one) which has been visiting it for the last three days. After one visit it drank water with a beak full of coir fibre. Do both sexes usually nest build?
