Word for person attracted to shiny things

Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is in your own question: "сорока" = magpie

magpie (countable noun): If you describe someone as a magpie, you mean that they like collecting and keeping things, often things that have little value.

{informal} "A born magpie, Mandy collects any object that catches her eye."

The study appears to refute the myth of the “thieving magpie”, which pervades European folklore.

It is widely believed that magpies have a compulsive urge to steal sparkly things for their nests."
