      I remember seeing magpies for the first time when I visited Calgary. Soon after we arrived, we remarked at how beautiful there were, and a member of the hotel staff responded “they’re kind of a nuisance around here”. I still think they’re beautiful.

        I’ve heard them described as a nuisance, but I’ve never understood why. I lived in Alaska for quite a while, where they’re common, and I never noticed any nuisance activity.
