  • 4 of 12: But when you move anywhere, the magpie returns.
  • 5 of 12: It seems to be clutching some sort of a loop in its beak.
  • 6 of 12: It looks important.  Perhaps you can get it somehow.
  • 7 of 12: Magpies are birds; birds like seeds!
  • 8 of 12: Use the bag of bird seeds with the magpie.
  • 9 of 12: Where can I find those seeds?
  • 10 of 12: The bag attracts the magpie.  It grabs some seeds and flies away without holding anything.
