  • Hand-feeding a magpie some rock-melon which is in-turn feeding it's baby. UPDATE The magpie appears to be a male, and so is probably the father and NOT the mother - (heading changed accordingly)

    There’s a juvenile I feed in my backyard, it’s funny when the parent is around he starts squawking like that and even opens his mouth really wide like he wants me to put the food in his mouth.

    This is lovely ! We had a male and female pair of magpies (the male has a pure white neck ; females have some gray shading on their neck) with two young ones nest in our yard. One day a rival magpie killed the female with a swooping stab to the chest and the father was left with two chicks. Only 3 days later to our sorrow one of the young ones had vanished too. One day the father brought the remaining baby inside our home right into our kitchen and looked up at me as if to say you feed a cat and a dog why not us ? I got a wee bit of chicken, some cheese for calcium and gave it to him and he fed his baby. Now "Baby" as we still call her/him (not sure yet) 4 months later comes in side herself and carries the food outside and drops it where her dad feeds her !!! lol . We have lots of earth worms in our garden so I always keep some handy and we keep a patch of dandelions, clover and grass to grow long to encourage lots of grubs moths and blue butterflies ; a sort of breakfast bar for birds :) . I tried rock melon with ours which was firmly rejected ,but they also sneak in some uncooked rice and oats for our pigeons. It is a myth that birds can't eat uncooked rice ;rice is simply the seed of the grass species and birds all around the world eat it !

      OMFG don't feed birds cheese... unless perhaps you want to kill them! In that case, consider a more effective poison. You can read and it would take you 30 seconds of research googling "what not to feed birds", you already researched how to tell m from f so why do you want to torture/kill animals with your ignorance? How would you like if we start to feed you things that make you constipated and rot you from the inside out? 🤮 some of you are sick people... leave bird care to the experts.

    People commenting about the mother thats a male doing the feeding could be dad or an older brother , also do'nt feed them to much they need calcium to help bone growth they get from the insect exoskeletons , liver is a good option as it has a lot of minerals high in vitamin c good for the immune system I had a young magpie with magpie pox in my garden I feed him liver ever 2nd day and he was able to fight it off

      It didn't take long. Just kept throwing the food closer and closer to me, but you need to be very still. They are very smart birds and are very aware of their surroundings, and any tiny movement they will see as a threat and back off.

      The tips of their beaks are very sharp and if they decide to pinch you or take a stab they will draw blood but I don’t think they have the strength to do that kind of damage.
