Maggie the Magpie
Maggie the Magpie is one of many pets Karl had as a child. Maggie was a wild bird that Karl managed to "tame" and keep as his own. Maggie was often abusive toward Karl, pecking his head and popping the tyres on his Grifter bike. Karl's classmates from primary school still recall Karl having a magpie. Karl eventually let it go free.
