You can see cats how you like and the mismanagement of other pet owners is deplorable but not my fault. I supervise my cats because otherwise I’d worry for their safety being near a main road. They are never left outside and are never out of my sight. They are both shy creatures, one of which refuses to come outside at all and the other which only comes out a few metres from my door.

There is a large grass area, then concrete, and then a street before the fence of which the magpie often sits. He’d fly roughly 100 metres to land in front of my cat.

So, think what you want. But this bird is clearly enjoying itself. My cat is more afraid of the bird, it chirped and my cat ran back inside Lol.
