My partner and I recently moved house. The lady that lived here before us was really lovely, however the day before we moved in she issued me with a warning: birds.
Now she gingerly told me in that sweet, innocent little old lady voice that there was one little magpie that visited her from time to time. She said she used to feed it and to be careful as, if you leave the screen door open, it will wander into the house.
Okay. A magpie. No worries. I can handle that, I thought. Now here’s the thing, she may have underplayed the number of birds she fed…
