Nice video of my dad's pet magpie, Maggie. My dad found her when she was a baby and almost dead at the front gate. My parents saved her and reared her as their own. I filmed her today in the front yard with us while we were setting up my mum and dad's Christmas lights. Extremely tame, playful and affectionate. Enjoy. You have to see to believe.

Ths magpie will now teach other magpies how to lay tracks and build trains, soon we will have an idustrialised magpie minority in Australia.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂❤️❤️
Magpie accidentally downloaded dog firmware.

It is common behaviour in Australian magpies. You always see the juveniles play fighting, they roll on their backs and kick at each other and wrestle.
When do people understand that most animals are like dogs when tamed and treated well? Sorry for being a buzzkill.
When a bird rolls over on it's back that is the ultimate sign of trust.
When an animal lays on its back in front of you, that's a demonstration of total trust.
bro she even lays on her back. thats some serious trust right there
Fat Joe more like intelligence

This is simply AMAZING. She is sooooo sweet I love that little baby cry she does awwwwwww
They are beautiful birds. I have a family of 4 that visit me several times a day. I consider it an honour.
Magpies are awesome birds,hard to get there trust,but once you have it, then friends for life.

That is so awesome..how does that come about??

So this is what it’s like to own a baby velociraptor...
Velociraptor was actually the size of a turkey, so thats what it was like to own a teebage velociraptor. Youve been looking at too much Jurassic park
youtube recommended finally doing something right
Agreed!
Holy shit. The fact that she trusts you enough to let you drop her on her back and rub her belly says A LOT. She really loves you two. I'd say I'm jealous--well, actually, that's exactly what I am saying. XD
When I was twelve I helped a starving magpie get back to health. But he kept flying back to my house, and every day when I would feed him I would move a step closer. Over two months I was able to gently pat his wings but never his head. Before we moved out, on our last day when I was feeding him for the last time I patted his head. from that moment onwards I have had a deep respect for animals and always a soft spot for magpies. And I’ve never been swooped by a magpie since that day they are truly amazing birds.
He told his homies that you were chill and they can't swoop you
Thank you
May grandma has 6 magpies.
very motivational, i have a magpie that comes every morning and says hi to my mum. your magpie is probably still having a happy life with its friends. Awaiting your return 😀

that's not a magpie, that's a cat
I saw this about an year ago and immediately set a goal for my self. I'm very happy to say that I have managed to adopt one. Lokka now eats from my hand, follows me around. He plays around the garden and tries to steal my paint brushes. He is so cute. I'm very happy.
so beautiful, got any video or pics of you and him playing?
Magpies are self aware, which means it probably actually loves you.
The corvid magpies (Eurasian magpie, black-billed magpie), not sure about the Aussie magpies. They're not in the same family so I don't know
That's a nice dog you got there.
Joshua Neyman thats not a dog
Sweet girl! Magpies are incredibly affectionate when you show them you mean no harm. Ive befriended a family and they will come looking in my window and calling for me. Really appreciate the magpie video
I have 3 Magpies who cannot go back to the wild.
They're so sweet and when I am depressed or in pain they come and snuggle with me :)
( 1 has 1 eye and 1 leg )
( 1 has 1 full wing and one half and one leg )
( One has 1 eye and 1 full wing and 1 half wing)
If you feed magpies but not feed them to much they tend to not swoop humans who give food and they let the other magpies know.
Been with me 10 years there so well trained they have a poop bucket and sleep with me on my bed and sit on me watching movies. ( Hehe some mornings there on there backs with wings out and like Bloop.
Elite Knight Productions Between the 3 of them u have a full magpie
How do u teach them to poop in buckets?
Ha ha !!
I like how they kind of toss her around like a gunny sack....but she LOVES IT!
I've never seen a bird lie on its back.
Magpies are god send.When i was a child my Paraplegic conjfined to a wheel chair for 66 yrs of her life thru polio which swept thru Australia in 1953.I never saw my mother walk.She used her arms for everything to bath tub and bed time transferring her self on /off bed.Then she developed a bone fracture in her arm.She was totally immobilised in bed without movement except for her complaining about wanting to have some company.One day a Full Black N White adult magpie flew into the small housing estate window and sat on the mirror part of the blackbean duchess mirror furniture piece in corner The Magpie stayed 5 mnths every day and leave every night .We could feed it raw frozen red meat only if at all.We were starving.The magpie used to to sing and talk my mother every day until she was able to use her arms again to be independant.I do Love the maggies
Love how Maggie rolled onto her back and cried like a baby with an Aussie accent
🤣🤣🤣
you tamed the beast that terrorises us everyday
If you feed the wild ones even once or twice, they won't attack you since they remember your face
I used to have a magpie friend as a child, then my brother threw a golf ball at it.. I got swooped by the same damn magpie for years after.
Katers1343 ?
Also wow welcome to Australia
Katers1343
😓
That’s too bad 😢
Yep If you feed the wild ones even once or twice, they won't attack you since they remember your face, But if you do the opposite like attack them they won't forget and you're dead to them.
THE LIL NOISES IM GONNA CRY
I'm sure the training was hard but what a great job, that Magpie really did a good job training her humans :)
😉
In Australia, the thought of taming a Magpie is equivalent to taming a shark
I dunno about the bird but this guy has a sick train track in his yard how come nobody talking about that
He posted a video of what the completed train tracks and Christmas lights look like. It's pretty amazing. ruclips.net/video/f6HRDNq9dqo/видео.html
these birds are so damn smart.. i wish I could trade my mother-in-law for one
my Dad had like this one, she was getting bullied by the other magpies so dad started feeding her, after a while she was strong enough to look after her self, she ended up started her own family and for the next ten years she would bring her kids around to show Dad and come inside for her morning belly scratch, she also made it very clear to the other magpies that the belly scratches where for her and no one else, her young ones would get in trouble if she caught them trying to con their way in for a belly scratch, that bird defiantly character.
thats so cool!! i never thought birds could be so clever!
I love it! Thanks.
this bird can live for ten years?!
@@bodybuildingABC They're in the same family as Ravens and Crows. The most intelligent bird family. Not only can they be trained, they learn by watching, can teach each other and can make tools to make other tools. The last one is only seen in very few species one of which is great apes. Theres a video of a crow making a hook to get a treat using another tool it made. They can also learn to talk like parrots
@@koi-irako lol even a pigeon can live for 15 years. Parrots can live for over 80 years
She protecc. She attacc, but most importantly... she a good doggo
When she's laying on her back and just gripping the guy's finger with her little foot, like a baby...my heart... ;-;
Maggie is simply precious!
I'm a veterinary technician and for years I worked in a clinic which specializes in birds and exotic pets. Lots of birds of prey, lots of parrots and lovebirds, reptiles and amphibians, rabbits, chinchillas, etc, in addition to dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, etc. Over the last 30 years I've raised and released dozens of orphaned wild birds. And in that time I've had a handful which were not releasable; 3 of those became members of my family: a female California Scrub jay I named Bijou, a female European House Sparrow called Baby, and a male Northern Mockingbird I call Star. They are some of the BEST pets I've ever had.
The softbills (magpies, jays, and mockingbirds are all softbills) are incredibly wonderful birds. I absolutely love them. Your Maggie is a lot like my scrub jay was.... super affectionate, craving lots of loves and cuddles, and very playful. My mockingbird, a north American species which only lives an average of 2-6 years in the wild, is 16 years old and still going strong. He absolutely lights up my life. Clearly Maggie is a fabulous and sweet girl who does the same for you and your dad. No doubt she'll be with you guys for many happy years. Thank you for sharing this glimpse into Maggie's world. She is truly adorable!
That's amazing about the age of your mockingbird! It's obviously getting all it needs and then some as far as love and food and care. ❤️
If it were not for lack of potty training and my inability to provide a large area to fly, a magpie or the likes would be a prime pet...clever and cool li'l dinosaurs, AND cuddly..
They are one of the few animals that can recognise itself in a mirror, and by extension, can probably recognise individuals as well. I'm sitting watching two in my garden now who have sussed out a minor puzzle to get hold of some bacon fat. Took them all of 2 minutes, working together. Ridiculously intelligent birds. The part of their brain responsible for higher executive functions including cognitive ability and problem solving is of a similar size proportionally to that of humans and apes.
That dog has a really sharp snout...
I have 25 that come visit me in the mornings and afternoons. Some i can pet, some i can feed by hand and one who enjoys landing on my head. My neighbour started a petition against me feeding them... hope they all swoop her ass in the spring! Fly my pretties!! I love them with all my ❤
She is adorable 😊. I love how she throws herself on the ground to get your dads attention 😂
She's just so beautiful. Her little personality is amazing . I'm glad she has you guys as she's obviously happy. Thanks for looking after her.x
Wow. That bird loves the old man. Totally trusts him. He’s got a friend for life. It’s crazy to think that bird could be anywhere, even with other birds but chooses to hang around with a couple of humans.
That's no bird, that's a dog
Magpies love "GRUBS" so much. I used to dig grubs in my garden. I held them in my hand. Magpie saw and flew to my hand and ate them from my hand. From there on, every time while I digged the soil, magpie would come like those chicken do
Love magpies, they aren’t the monsters that most people think they are.
They can be very friendly and cute, and I love how they look.
Definitely not monsters they are just very protective parents i cant fault that and most dont even swoop as its a learned behaviour i love them to and just adjust my walking route during spring its not hard to co exist with these beauties.
Your dad is an animal whisperer.
thats a really weird cat you have there
That's awesome. I was a truck driver on the gold coast and once save a magpie, which became my friend. I ended up giving it to a backhoe operater friend to look after as I moved to Africa. A year ago I save a crow from some local guys kicking it around. It's been with me ever since. It's name is Jo the crow and is very clever. Good on you mate, for playing with that magpie, amazing to watch.
I have NEVER seen a Magpie (or any bird for that matter) ask for belly rubs! That's amazing!
Indeed.
What a wonderful, playful creature. Such an honor to be able to share such a friendship. Or in this case I guess it is more of the familial relationship of an adopted child and parent. Whatever it is it is just great in my book. Thanks for posting.
No problem,a pleasure posting this.
Making noises that sound like a small Kitty cat... my gosh.
These birds do alot of things i never realised as well.
Beautiful birds.
What a cool pet!
servicarrider they are very pretty!!
What a polite bird.
That bird loves and trusts you. Wow!
I live in Denmark and in Danish those birds are called "Skade" which directly translated to English literally means "damage". Skader/magpies are very common in Northern Europe. But that was not why I decided to write here. I have a funny story where a magpie/skade actually got told of. I have a larger balcony that are coverved with glas, sliding window doors all around so it can be both 80% open and fully closed and tight. Along the doors outside of the balcony I have a 1/2 meter wide, 1 meter deep earth filled flower bed with small bushes and flowers. It is on the second floor. A few years ago I got an injury that kept me locked to my home pretty much all the time for 6 months. From early spring to fall. So spent a lot of time on the balcony and discovered a pigeon pair early on, getting nest material, initially just from the flower bed but fast they learned I was a good guy they should not be afraid of, so they entered the enclosure and got material from there as well. I began to feed the pigeons with a little mais once in a while as they hatched nearby but out of my sight. When their new babies grew older they also came by. They all became completely trusting of me to the point where they would walk on me my while dozing off. Magpies/skader would also land at the flower bed and take some mais but never came closer although seemingly not afraid of me. Next year the pigeons decided to nest in the flower bed in a corner up against one of my sliding doors. It became a habit for me to give them a handful of mais every day when coming home from work. I followed them laying eggs and watched several times magpies, where one tried to provoke the nesting bird, to leave the nest, so the other could steal an egg, but the magpies clearly had respect for the pigeons because as long as the bird stayed on the nest nothing really happened. They though upped the ante and became bolder and bolder, coming closer and more provocative each day. It was the same pair of magpies and one day, few days after the pigeons had hatched they really went in for the kill and then the father pigeon finally placed himself on the edge of the nest wing to wing with the mother pigeon and one magpie stood in front of the nest and the other came flying in from the side to provoke the others of the nest, happened again and again approaching closer and closer to the father pigeon UNTIL the magpie flew screaming 2-3 cm (a little inch) in for an attack and SUDDENLY the father pigeon did something I never saw before, it WHACKED (!) the magpie in the most violent way with its right wing exactly when it was closest and in the air. The magpie got such a WHACK that it were hurled horizontally 2 meters straight out and tumbled through the air all the way down to the ground. Looked as it was hit hard with a tennis racket, not a pigeon wing. The other magpie flew down to it and it took 15 minutes before it eventually took off, but the WHACK was totally cartoonish with a sky of feathers (from the magpie) when it was hit. The mother pigeon was clearly proud of the father and they both where very pleased with each other for days. I saw the magpies again, but they never came close to the nest while I saw it. The 2 hatched pigeons came to be grown ups and they now visit me regularly and bring their spouses and kids for the season. When I told friends about the pigeons coming in the beginning when I had my injury they all said that my balcony would be full of pigeon shit, but to this day I have never had to remove any pigeon droppings. It was pretty disgusting to remove their nest but a small price to pay for the many fun hours "my" bird family have provided me. I can still laugh out loud recalling that WHACK and the cartoonish cloud of feathers derived from it. Pigeons 1, magpie 0. Although "skader" not same species, I understand from reading here, as magpies they too can adapt other sounds. I also have heard "my" magpies do car alarms and one of my friends had a pair many years ago when Aqua´s "Barbie Girl" swept the globe for years, would whistle that chorus. "I am a Barbie girl, in a Barbie woooorld".
Hope you enjoyed my story. Have a good day.
Enjoyed it pal, can picture it pretty clearly, sounds like it was quite amusing. Cheers
That was awesome!
that's a nice dinosaur buddy
When your puppy refuses to take off its Plague Doctor costume from Halloween.
Maggie is bloody adorable!
ArmouredLemming 😂😂😂😂😂 belly rubs lol I have a tattoo of a plague doctor
What a character. Always had a soft spot for magpie's myself.
Awe, her tiny squeaks are the cutest!
Awe...shes hepling her Dad in the garden! So cute!!
the bird's sweetness shows that you never mistreated it.
I like how searching for Australia Magpie has half videos of them attacking people, and half videos of them being pets.
It's a love hate relationship.
We fed them regularly at our old address - particularly the babies, who were duly introduced to us by their parents each breeding season. We have since moved, but hubby visits the park near our old address and receives a warm welcome from maggies who still remember us. He takes food with him now, as they still expect it!
I've all ways told people if you throw rocks at a magpie they swoop ya but if you throw bacon they'll be ya best mate I get some stupid looks but I know it works
I like the little sounds she makes. So cute.
awe, its more like a puppy than a bird
She wants her pets, period!
A precocious, curious & sweet little creature with notable intelligence!
It lays down like a good pupper
It sounds like she is still a baby. I use to raise Cocatels and they do the same chirp when their hungry ❤️❤️
Wow, awesome, she completely loves you.
Birb belly rubs, what the hell...
the coolest wild bird ever .. talk about emotional cause she wants to play and get tummy rubbed ]
I had to share to facebook !!!!
Thankyou
And please keep sharing this.
Cheers
are her feathers soft? :)
Robert Ursini birds in crow family are all playful. a tamed one is literally a devoted slave
yes,i guess they are relatively soft.
I think I've got to share, too! Amazing!
Precious, loyal Maggie. I love her.
My parrot used to lay on his back like that! When I laid down, he would get under the covers with me and lay on his back so I would rub his belly!
it's reincarnation.
this bird was once a Labrador,
or some fat dude
Insanity Excursion Fpv LMFAO.😝
She could have been a dog in her past life. So cute
i love birds man.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
Omg! She was throwing a fit because she wanted love & to play with her dad 😂❤ adorable!!!! What a personality
I love how birds always look so serious about whatever they're doing
They are amazing at facial recognition One they get to know you they recognize you for life They all have different personalities as well )That finger grabbing is a sign of affection btw )
Today I learned that magpies are a cat-dog hybrid.
That's a young maggie there. You can tell by the plumage & the black on the beak..except the very tip of it whuch will remain like that.❤❤❤
Thumbnail gave me meme vibes.
Birds are sensitive, emotional and intelligent creatures. You should always be nice to birds.
Obviously a very, very happy bird and very much loved! All is well with the World.
She’s loving them belly rubs, the big wimp.
Fantastic
SQUEEKY BIRB DO A FINGER NOM
That's adorable.
Bless such a kind creature
Aw, she loves the old man, that's so cute 😃 She's got him wrapped round her little claw! 😄🐥💗🌸
I just got into birds, I swear out of like thin air a few months ago, and I really love magpies, in Germany we have these beautiful white and black ones! She must really trust you rolling over like that !
Welcome to the world of birds my friend. The fowls of the air are my favourite of God's creation!
Yeah I think the ones we get in England are probably the same species as you get in Germany black and white with some blue feathers. These Australian ones seem a little more taller with shorter tail feathers.
the australian magpie is a completely different bird to european ones .they are renowned for swooping and attacking during breeding season .they will selectively attack kids or teenagers who taunt them but if you befriend and occasionally feed them they seldom swoop or even bother you.
This is true. I work at a school that has only been at it's present site for 7 years or so. When I first started working there, the site was only a few years old and the magpies were swooping during the Spring. The following Spring, however, they stopped swooping and become quite used to kids and adults being around all of the time. You could walk past one up to about a metre and they would just look at you. I used to talk to them and throw the odd apple core out (not needed because they had plenty of food from kid fruit / sandwich scraps). Unfortunately, the large family that owned the territory has dwindled a bit but because the neighbour over the back, much to my anger and disgust, has been pot-shotting them with his airgun. I am quietly plotting my revenge on him.....
Very true. Ive had magpies on my property for 16 years and they dont swoop on us. If I whistle they come & I give them some leftover fruit or a bit of cheese occasionally. I only do this so they are friendly, I dont want to ruin their native diet.
That is an absolutely precious bird.
They're such beautiful birds aren't they. We started out feeding 4 Maggie's a few years ago on the Gold Coast, then all of a sudden we had 30+ of them start showing up every day, morning, lunch & dinner time, wanting to be fed.
On top of those we also get 6 Kookaburras, 100+ Lorrikeets, 4 Crows, 2 Currawongs, 5 Butcherbirds, 20+ Cockatoo's every single day & 5 Bush Stone Curlews every night. It's like a farm around here, we just didn't buy any of them.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn't know magpies could be this cute
Now all of a sudden I'm entertaining the idea of having a pet bird.
Pet birds are.awesome and suoer intelligent. my greencheek conure is snuggling right now.
She's a sweet girl. She must be a good companion. She cries to have her tummy rubbed...so funny! Never saw a bird do that! 💟🕊
Magpies are one of the cutest birds until it's breeding season and they all start bombdiving and swooping you.
Lol! When I was about 8 years old me and my friends would get attacked by the magpie's that lived on our street everyday! 😂 "The devil birds" 😂😰
. . . and they'll go for your eyes and take one out . . . very easily.
Bastards of things . . . in the nesting season.
That's likely because you've got rowdy kids in your area that antagonize the birds! I lived in a suburb like that as a kid but where I am now all the magpies are friendly as can be. Well, to humans anyway :P
That's why you make sure to develop a good rapport with your local magpies. They can recognize faces and can learn that you're a friend and not a threat.
That's a weird looking puppy
I understand its very unusual for birds to lay on their back like that, its enormous trust.
It's actually not, not for the more intelligent birds. Magpie's belong to the same group as crows and are extremely intelligent similar to parrots and macaws. I used to work at a petshop that specialized on birds and reptiles, we had a young macaw that we kept out in the open on a perch so she could get used to being handled by people. One of her favorite things to do was to be put on her back and have her stomach tickled. These species of birds have IQ's similar to 4 year olds and have amazing memories. So it's part trust but it's also based around them understanding that humans in general aren't threats because they're intelligent enough to remember their interactions.
Steve S - Indeed, although it's amazing how corvid-like it is, for a passerine. Totally corvid behaviour (and appearance), you'd easily be fooled if it wasn't for the walk.
AWWWWW, she wanted her belly rubbed how adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had complete trust in you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless
Maggie throws her self against Dad's feet: *Looook at me!*
I need someone that knows bird behavior to explain, does she think of them as parents? The way she played with the dad, yelling at him for attention and then playing was like a child but when she’s with the son it’s like she’s with her crush😂
your Magpie is quite the ambassador
I love corvids so much. They're incredibly intelligent. I made friends with a magpie at a Raptor Rehab center. I would give her small twigs, and one day I was walking by, and she stuck a twig through the wires. I kept walking, and she followed me around until I finally stopped and took the twig. She puffed up and looked really pleased with herself. lol
Im currently nursing a fledgling magpie back to health after they got attacked by other birds (they punctured her head and its affected her balance and she almost died, we're not out of the woods yet but fingers crossed) and you can tell that she understands I'm trying to help her! Even when something is a bit painful for her she's never attacked me for it and you can tell she knows why I'm "hurting" her and that it needs to be done. She's also very snuggly and loves getting head and belly pets. It's making this all even more rewarding.
Aw bless. I hope she gets better soon.
Jade Munro Good luck!
How is she doing now?
Absolute beauty at its finest..animals neva cease to amaze us..I wish us humans were the same way & just half the hearts they have😘
You & your dad are both gems
Why do people like you always make comments like that about how animals are so great and people suck? Grow up and stop being such a Disney kid.
