Georgie the Magpie

Meet Georgie the Magpie, the shiny-feathered mischief-maker of Three Little Woods! With his glossy black-and-white plumage, sharp eyes, and endless curiosity, Georgie can’t resist collecting treasures, bottle tops, buttons, ribbons, and the occasional spoon from Nan Fran’s Cottage (she’s forgiven him… mostly).

Georgie loves a good laugh and is famous for his cheeky pranks, swapping Dan the Gardener’s gloves, hiding Jake’s trowel, or sneaking berries from the village picnic. But behind the jokes is a loyal heart. When his friends need help, Georgie is always the first to swoop in brave, fast, and full of clever ideas.

He’s especially fond of Jake, who shares his love for collecting curious things. Together they go on “treasure hunts,” turning their finds into art projects for Jennifer Pickles’ class. Georgie loves showing children that creativity can come from anything, and that laughter is one of nature’s best medicines.

Did you know?
Magpies are among the cleverest birds in the world, they can recognise themselves in a mirror, use tools, and even hide food for later! Their shiny collections aren’t just mischief; in the wild, they use them to decorate nests and attract mates.

Georgie’s quick thinking and curious nature make him a perfect symbol of reusing and recycling. Instead of throwing things away, he shows children how to turn “rubbish” into art, proving that creativity and sustainability can go wing-in-wing.

🌍 Eco Tip:
Next time you go for a walk, try a “magpie challenge” collect bits of litter (safely with gloves or tongs) and see what fun crafts or collages you can make at home.

His motto: “Find the joy, share the shine.”
