Got my first offering from the local wild magpies today in the form of a finger lime.

finger lime

Looking for any tips on how to teach them what credit cards look like and why they're a better offering. Should I pretend to eat a credit card next time they're here or something?

They might do better with diamonds. They're meant to like shiny things, it's just convincing them to share nicely.

Diamonds are worthless though when you try and resell, you only are offered the weight in gold of the ring they're on. First hand experience.

So I'd need to train them to pull off the worlds greatest diamond heist of all time to steal an actually rare one. Any tips on that?

I'd prefer yours to those delivered by magpies, despite the Santa debacle.
