===Somewhere, was it Scandinavia, magpies are considered good luck===

Depends here on how many there are, Kat. Don't you have the superstition rime over there re magpies; "One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a girl And four for a boy". I have never BTW understood this final couplet. What it supposed to mean, can anyone enlighten me? But the 1 & 2 predictions are clear enough.
