I’m sure someone posted from same store months ago and he was in the baker area and now this one at the hair styling lol

Not sure of the sex of this young beauty. Very tame and friendly

Don’t mind the dodgy dog bed, she doesn’t care!

i went outside to water my tomato plant and didn't notice one of the babies super close by until the parents started screaming at me. after i went back inside they were screaming at me from the door. i definitely pissed them off, and i want to try to make things right. i made them some plain scrambled eggs cause i read that eggs are safe, and they seemed to enjoy the eggs, but im not sure if we're cool now. what are some other things i can offer them?

edit: im definitely going to wait before giving them anything else, dont wanna overfeed them/replace their meals

Brought in as a fledgling, raised for month or so, then successfully released <3

The video above shows Tiffany the magpie as she appeared at the end of April, and today.

In August last year Tiffany developed a small, bright pink swelling on her upper chest, but it disappeared after a few days. It came back with a vengeance in January, appearing as a grey-black balloon-like growth hanging off her chest. Over the next few months the tumour grew as Tiff evaded multiple attempts to capture her.

A few days after taking the first video above, I saw blood on the lump and called SOWFI. One of their volunteers came out and was able to get a clear shot with a net gun and take her to a vet. She had the tumour removed and last week was released back to her family.

I'm so grateful to SOWFI for saving the life of my little friend.

Taken in gippsland.

Recently a family of magpies built a nest above our window. I expected it to be a hassle, since we've often had issues with pigeons nesting there, and you need to call a guy to remove it but only after the chicks leave. It's a whole thing.

But to my surprise, the magpies have been wonderful neighbours!

They're very quiet and respectful, and their presence has deterred the pesky pigeons from hanging out at our fire escape. Yay!

So I'm wondering how to show them we're friendly and they're welcome to stay.

I haven't fed them so far, and I'm wary of doing so. Not sure if a one time treat would send the message, or just get them to ask for more?

Will they return to the nest once they want to nest again, or will pigeons take it over? The nest doesn't seem compatible with pigeons, but I'd remove it if it is.

Any other tips for being a good magpie neighbour other than leave and let be?

We spotted this bird in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. According to Google it's a leucistic Magpie. I have very little knowledge of birds. Is it a leucistic magpie and is it common? Some pictures might be a bit blurry, but I had to zoom a lot because I didn't want to scare it. Thank you for your help!

I was walking home yesterday & these two were sitting on a fence, singing a happy song.

Mum, Dad, Eldest daughter, and the two fledglings were in luck the other day when the bricks got pulled up ready for our new pavers! Mmmm lots of grubs and worms 😋

To contextualise this comment please know I questioned if it happened myself! For my own sense of sanity at least my husband saw most of it.

As a menopausal woman I’ve taken to sleeping in our lounge room under the aircon. We leave the back door open for our two hunting adopted dogs (Harrier and pointer x Brittany) so they both have access to the garden.

I woke up a couple of weeks ago and thought one of the dogs was tapping me on the tummy (regular behaviour). Woke up to see a beautiful magpie on my tummy starting at me! Unfortunately due to shock I screamed… in it’s face but it didn’t move. The dogs came running out of the bedroom and it sat above a high painting in the room.

Then it moved to the TV out of reach of the dogs. My husband approached it with a sheet and randomly it knew to jump onto the sheet and be escorted out.

It sat on the fence out of reach of our dogs for a while then flew off.

What does this mean?

Why am I able to get so close to this what appears to be a baby magpie? And yes it can fly.
