that's exactly what they do haha. The carrion crows in my neighborhood do this all the time. They truly have 0 fear of the cats because they possess some insane agility. Magpies are even faster than them.
You didn't read the video description stating that the well-fed cat had just murdered one of the magpies' chicks. Which is exactly the problem with letting cats run loose, they murder wildlife indiscriminately, because cats are a disgusting invasive species.
This is not an attack. Neither species is intimidated by the other. I see this behaviour all the time especially when the same birds occupy the same territory. They will tolerate each other. My cat plays hide and seek with some Ravens, it's hilarious.
Cats are an ecological pest, a selectively-bred domesticate native to nowhere. Native species with the power to either drive out or kill a cat will readily do so. There is no such thing as "coexistence" between a cat and any other species, its own size or smaller. Best thing is to keep cats indoors if you must keep one at all. The plethora of zoonotic diseases cats vector would, if most people knew and understood the public health risks, be enough to put most people off keeping one.
This happened to one of my cats this spring. I was watching from the window and was laughing away so much at what the birld was doing, taunting my cat, but in such a playful and cheeky manor. Those Magpies are very intelligent creatures!
Yeah magpies are really antagonistic to cats, I have one called Magnus and he likes to swoop all 5 of our cats (he's an absolute unit of a Eurasian magpie so they're absolutely terrified of him lol)
One theory is that animals like to put themselves in danger. When chased or attacked, they get a surge of dopamine and other drugs that provide a rush, and are addictive.
In the USA we have Mockingbirds that cry and swoop when my dog or I walk by while they’re nesting but nothing like the aggressiveness of these. Are they related?
My cat has brought me a few dead birds, I once saw it catch a crow, and while it was trying to choke it , it got attacked by a few other crows and was forced to let go of the one between it's teeth
My cat got attacked by 2 of those bastards on our balcony, they were swarming in and pecking him. Although I assume it's probably retaliation. He's to scared to go out now 😂
when one gets really close the colours of the rainbow are seen in their plumage, very strange indeed, at least to my eye, like they've been dipped in oil...
@stayl206 They're magpies. I see loads of them where I live. I saw one attacking a cat just a few days ago. It's wings were outstretched and it's tail was flared out. I jumped up and down on the spot, making a helluva racket, then pounced on puss's back, plucking away at his fur...................puss must've got too near the magpie's nest but he did at least escape from the magpie after a while......................
bte Magpies are known for being over-reactive brave defenders of there nest territory, they yell at or attack bigger animals even if they not intended to hunt for there nest. This is why you they teasing that cat to scare it off and why you see pair of magpies not just one ;]
American magpies ain't sht. Try dealing with Australian magpies. They're twice as big and very protective of their nests. Getting swooped is one the scariest experiences. They dive bomb right into the back of your head.
My cat is getting chased every day by the magpies but he has been annoying them up the tree where there best is .... when he leaves the house they are chasing him and swooping down .... awwww poor baby 😻

@alpha-omega2362 Cats and dogs, as domesticated predators, are ecological pests in the environment. Responsible keepers should be insisting on proper supervision, restraint, and confinement.
There are animals that instinctively when a predator is near their young attempt to distract that predator or attack it to drive it off.

He doesn't seem to care a whole lot. Now, if you replaced that cat that used to be around here. He would rip them apart in a second or two. He wasn't a fan of the magpies. They tested his patience big time.
@stayl206 thing is Australian magpie is not only magpies XD those are European magpies and this is how magpies looks commonly in most sub-species, white, black and sometimes blue-green feathers and have noice likt that, Australian are most different sub-species, but due there non-commonness and not typical noice they are more popular.
Five years belated, but Australian magpies aren't even part of the crow family. Entirely different bird, that just happens to be black and white coloured.
Pies do this to herass cats as much as they can, to prepare for the nesting, for the chicks are allmost defenceless for two weeks after leaving the nest. Pies are not nearly so wound up or angry, seeing a dog, wich normally do not pay much attention to them. Humans, they do not care much about, perhaps hopping two or four meters to keep the safe distance if one just bike past them. It is under the worthiness for a German Sheperd, to seriously trying to chase and try to kill a Mag-Pie, haha.
+The RobHemator they are European magpies there are lots of types of magpies. Not nearly as aggressive as Australian ones but still very interesting due to their intelligence.
I usually hunt these magpies to feep my cats. I've seem them feast on puppies and kitties, no matter how much I tried to protect the little animals, the magpies came back. So I bought a very expensive handgun. In Romania... Gun laws are very strict here but I passed the sanity test well. Edit: the cat on my profile picture is one I've saved from magpies

Cats like "oh no they have me surrounded 😑"
an attack? more like a concert.
the cat’s yawn sums up the situation… ‘not bovvered!’ ❤
It's like they are both playing a game of who can get closest to the cat. I bet they are egging each other on.
that's exactly what they do haha. The carrion crows in my neighborhood do this all the time. They truly have 0 fear of the cats because they possess some insane agility. Magpies are even faster than them.
I remember one these birds attack my cat. unfortunately, the magpie lost because my cat was attacked on it's sleep and got pissed off. lol
Lol sure kid
@@orderdisorder9071 I ain't a kid. and my cat already passed 7 years ago. he was an agressive hunter unlike other house cats. 😒
@@24LionHearts RIP
This used to happen to our cat as he got old, magpies came up to him and pulled his tail. But I think they were just teasing him.
Yeah, the whole Corvus family is quite intelligent (and sometimes mischievous)
Do you know there's this little word called "taunting"? yeah that's the one you should've used.
Why thanks. I'll add that to my dictionary.
Why, are most welcome, and please add the word "vocabulary" in there too. You'll love that word in the future :P

mark robertson I don’t think you told that joke right...
the cat was attacked and by attacked he means the magpies looked at him.
You're a clever fucker eh
@@Robb5994 I fuckin agree
The birds are saying to each other: :if this works we will eat like kings for a week!!"
They have this extremely advanced behaviour to prepare the cat for the nesting period. To make the cat go away or hate their precence alltogether.
