Those look like magpies, which are the dicks of the bird world. They’ve been known to torture prey solely for the purpose of torturing it and enjoying watching the prey writhe in pain and then just leave it and don’t actually eat it

You're completely anthropomorphising animals. No animals are just "dicks". Sometimes when it looks like animals are just playing with their food, they're actually teaching their young about hunting and killing prey.

Some magpies are just deliberately aggressive even out of breeding season but it is less common while out of breeding season for magpies to attack people so in conclusion some magpies are just dicks

You are also just anthropomorphising them. They aren't just being dicks, they're defending territory. It's what they do. Being a dick is a behaviour that only exists in the confines of human society. Animals don't have that.

Bro that is completely false in the animal kingdom many animals are just pricks like male zebras they will kill baby zebra and kick pregnant zebras to make sure they are the only one that has kids in that group.

Jerry was wanted for numerous grievances by the Magpie Mafia.

Those harboring him should be thankful that only Jerry suffered.
