I've always liked birds. Magpies and crows of course are common where I live, and they are really quite intelligent. I always try to interact with them. The magpies respond to me sometimes, and sometimes follow me for a while if I've said something to them and I'm walking. Maybe I look nuts trying to talk to birds, but they know you're "talking" towards them, unlike some other common city animals (jackrabbits where I live) who assume you might be trying to harm them.
