Magpies - 1 for sorrow / 2 for Joy / 3 for a girl / 4 for a boy.
If u seen a certain amount of magpies, and something relating to that number happened to happen .. u would automatically start thinking the superstition is true .. human nature isn't it.
Personally .. I dont think the bird was trying to tell u anything .. just unfortunate timing methinks.
I think the magpie was probably a Banshee. they're an irish tradition/myth, usually assocaited with a woman wailing before the death of a family member, but they have also taken the shape of a bird, eg crow. i'v never heard of a magpie, but i have had a similar experience with a crow. one appeared at a window in our house, tapping on it for the 5 nights before my gran died (she had also experience of the Banshee), when she passed away the crow dissappeared. nothing similar has happened since!
