Nope hear in NW England Its Hello Mr Magpie hows your family. Its because Magpies mate for life and to see one may mean the other has died.

In Scotland we say Morning Mr Magpie, how’s your wife and kids. In England Morning Mr Magpie (three times). The salute is the key. I live in Aus now and the magpies aren’t even the same bird, but I salute them, just in case…
