One cheeky magpie will be flying high in Australia tonight.
A hilarious video captures the moment the bird robs a pot smoker and takes off with his joint.
The drug user had left his cannabis cigarette outside on the porch only to discover a sly magpie had taken it into its mouth.
The man yells at the bird as he watches his joint get carried off.
"Are you f**king s**ting me?" he says. "You stole my joint."
The stakes are high, and he makes a desperate attempt to snatch back his joint.
"Give it back," he pipes up.
But just when he thought the magpie was his bud, it flies away in a puff.
The bird is victorious, and the man is left smoked.
Magpie swooping season is in full swing in Australia, which has had mild winter temperatures and triggered early breeding.
