Taxidermy Magpies Mounted on Pair of 18thC Columns
The pair of contemporary preserved Eurasian magpie (Pica, pica) specimens perched opposing restfully, rod-mounted on a pair of eighteenth century Neo-Classical Stop-fluted Columns each with a crested scroll capital and a frieze to the base carved with a putto and foliage, on a later stepped square plinth.
I am a wondrous creature, I vary my voice,
sometimes I bark like a dog,
sometimes I bleat like a goat,
sometimes I bellow like a goose,
sometimes I yell like a hawk,
sometimes I echo the ashy eagle,
the noise of the war-bird,
sometimes the voice of the kite I convey from my mouth,
sometimes the gull’s song, where I sit gladly.
“There is a certain kind of magpie that can learn words they become fond of some words, and not only repeat them but can be seen to ponder them. To learn a word they must hear it said often, and if a word is too difficult for them to learn they may die. When they forget a word they cheer up greatly when they hear it spoken.”
Pliny the Elder [1st century CE] (Natural History, Book 10, 50)
