which has apparently adopted the Delta neighborhood around 300 North west of the high school "We call it Matilda but some of the other people in the neighborhood have less friendly names for her” said Mrs Roland Murdock The less than kind feelings toward the bird might be due to allegations it has stolen lawnmower bolts chased puppies and displayed a glutonous when preferred crumbs disposition from the picnic table however none of the claims have been substatiated Wanda Beckwith another neighbor said that despite some problems most of the people like the bird In fact when u was erroneously reported that a hawk had done away with the magpie many were dismayed When it was discovered Matilda was OK everyone was the happier Wanda said "Most of the neighbor got to know Matilda during the summer when she visited many summer parties” Mrs Murdock said "She will go for anyone that has something in hand and the kids have had a lot of fun feeding her" Though magpies are known to be tameable no one claims to have encouraged the bird’s outgoing behavior “He just showed up one day spring and has been here ever since" V anda said |
