From Wonder Quest:
"Why do magpies like shiny things? Because magpies are intelligent curious beings that like to explore. Shiny things interest them as toys, play-pretties, or something to stash away. They like to hoard."

they are naturally attracted to anything that catches their attention, ie shiny things that reflect the light. they then want to introduce it to family to teach them. same really with females and diamond rings (though not necessarily the stealing part)

i do no longer understand, yet my oldest son has continuously had a fixation for bright products, lol! consistent with probability the different adult males in my family members do, too, and that i in basic terms have not observed. it rather is a stable one!

they're attracted to the glitter. not that they can sell it for bird food.
