Day 2
Bit of a story behind this magpie. I have be-friended her and her 2 babies. Well mostly her. I am even able to handfeed her scraps of meat and bread. Now if l go outside and she is there she will come right up to me looking for some food or just to say hello.
Was funny, did try and get a photo of her this morning. She was on the patio digging into the cats dry food (with her 2 babies) and the cat just sat there watching them in his basket. he was a few feet away from them and neither was bothered about the other. Wished l grabbed that on camera but the kids made too much noise and they flew away. (the maggies that is not the cat).
Was a bit worried about them the other day too. Drove down the st and noticed 2 squished magpies on the road. And had remembered seeing mum at our place in the morning without the babies. I thought they may have been hit my a car and it was sad.
But l got a surprise that afternoon as there they were in the backyard squawking away and mum was there singing.
Its been great to watch them, i too have a fear of maggies as l have often been swooped so this little family who has enjoyed our back yard has changed my view of these amazing birds. Watching the mother tend to her young is amazing, how she looks out for them and teaches them the ways of the world... as a magpie.
