John:

   Thanks for sharing your experience.  Since you didn't include an
interpretation (grin), am I to assume you were impressed with the Magpie's
audacity to jump up on the coffee table or the bird's vocal mimicry?  It so
happens I am struggling with the huge literature on vocal mimicry in birds
... eventually I hope to write a few articles of the topic.

Cheers, Jim
