I knew it was a myth, but it was the only thing I could think of that was attracted to red to make the metaphor work; and yes they actually are attracted to shiny things.
So a bold Nico Rosberg in his Merc is likely to be attacked by a bunch of magpies!
We know these numbers are not representative, for example certain teams fans will like anything just because its a certain colour
If Ferrari fans are attracted to Red like Bulls (Well thats ironic) are Merc/McLaren fans like Magpies who are attracted to anything shiny?
Common misconception that bulls are attracted to red, they aren't. They don't give a damn about red, or any other colour (I believe they're colour blind) but what attracts them is the movement of the cloth and how the cloth is presented (aggressive intimidation) which makes the bull go mad.
Also, are magpies really attracted to shiny stuff?Won't bald guys need to be careful outdoors then.

Magpies are attracted to shiny things because they use them to attract a partner. This is often seen as a way to give them an edge over the other. They intend to attract a partner by keeping the shiny objects at strategic places or locations for them to see.

Mark my words, Bottas will be world champion by 2020 - Me 24/11/14
