Thinking back i'm pretty sure they were there for a free cannibal lunch.
Also the only bird i have ever hit with my car was a magpie on 16th by crowchild. I wasn't even speeding. It was an expensive bunny lunch.

The Magpie is incredibly intelligent, when ganging up on larger prey they use gestors instead of vocal signs to signal attack, like their cousins the Ravens/Crows they will drop hard nuts in front of cars to open them and they're the only known bird that recognizes itself in the mirror. Like Ravens, it can also use a mirror to find food.
