Magpie Perfectly Imitates Horse
Occurred on October 1, 2025 / Inverell, New South Wales, Australia
Info from Licensor: "We were watching TV when suddenly we both hear a horse whinny. A full-on neighhh! echoing through the house. We figured our neighbour dropped by for a visit. So we wander around the place, looking out windows for a horse. Nothing. Not a hoofprint. Not even a stray whiff of manure. We looked at each other like, “Did we both just hallucinate a horse?” It kept happening. We have magpies that are nearly part of the family now — they hang out by the back door, staring through the glass like they are waiting for snacks. I finally got a trail cam to watch them, and maybe see that horse. We finally got the footage - no horse, just the magpie playing with our heads! Credit: Peter Gibson"
