Summary

edit
Description

There are many collective nouns for groups of magpies, but perhaps the most common are a mischief, conventicle, congregation, tiding, charm and tribe of magpies. Like crows, magpies are sometimes referred to as a murder, and like owls, they're sometimes referred to as a parliament. The good ole flock would likely also apply. This group gathered at Seedskadee NWR HQ for unknown but suspicious reasons.
