It's so cute how he starts rolling around on the floor with it, and then one of the older magpies pulls him with his beak, as if to say "stop being so silly! Stand up!".
Playful baby. Our baby from last season is now in magpie heaven. It was blind in one eye but was doing extremly well but it must have met with a bad outcome. I really loved that baby it was such a sweetie 🥰 This seasons baby is progressing well but is still a bit stand-offish. It will come within about 2 feet of me but won’t take food from my hand. It’s good though that it’s a cautious baby, it might have a good survival chance. Mummy magpie sometimes gets angry with the baby so I get angry with the mummy 😡
Your wonderful videos are a rare treat and I treasure them. I watch them multiple times over. These birds are so fun it makes me want to travel to Australia and just hang out with them. I’ve never seen anything like it here in America. Blessings to you.
They're always entertaining, these birds. Pretty smart and loads of personality and they make interesting sounds like there's a complex language and I bet there is!
Oh this is just SO delightful watching these young magpies rolling around with their toys & looking no different to how kittens play! I never knew birds could roll around the way these are doing. I remember seeing it snowing once & I was thinking 'Oh poor birds' & then saw some black birds rolling down the windshield of a car! Obviously really enjoying themselves! I was so thrilled at seeing that as it gave me a totally different perspective. A happy one. Btw, don't ever throw bacon rind out for birds when it snows as they think its' a worm & they can't digest it & it kills them.
You are a unique woman and must feel so lucky and privelidged...life can be so heavy. This is magical and made my day..Thank you and thank you, beautifull birds.
magpies are really smart. apparently they are one of the few animals that have self-awareness (includes all the great apes, dolphins, elephants, and magpies).
Magies gives a good imitation of a car alarm, now its getting the keys @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="169">2:49</a>....nothing suspicious here...all they need is a car, which the three have already checked out before when the three magpies were so called serenading you in the other video.😎 🤣
not sure why, maybe because he is not alert if there is a predator near by.....most animals got to be conscious about their safety.....but she is so cute
Wow one of your videos just popped up seeing it was Maggie’s I had to have a look. I’ve got a family that visit me most days I do love them muchly. I put out off cuts of meat and chicken whenever I have some. They’re fabulous to watch. I don’t have grass in my backyard where they and the lorikeets come and visit I wish I did then maybe I’d get to see them play more. I absolutely love them singing to me too but I had absolutely no idea of how huge a range of sounds they could make. Thank you so much for sharing and educating me too. I couldn’t help but subscribe immediately. Cheers cherieK 🦋🌈🐿🇦🇺
Haha I love everything about juvenile magpies. Their light grey feathers which are soft and fluffy when young, their adorable crying out for food, and all the adorable playful antics they get up to. They especially seem to love being on their side, their back, and also hanging from things
😂 i love your videos! I start my day with them...and then I watch them again...and before I go to sleep... I am addicted to these crazy Australian Magpies!!!😘
I love them, and the sound, you don't hear that overhere in the Netherlands, Holland. They are very playful. I enjoy your site!! 💞Greetings from Karin from Holland
So nice to find you here. I dont go on Facebook anymore and have missed your posts. I just love magpies too. You're now on my faces list..again. Love it. Thanks.
This is monumental; wondering if there's a way to teach them music theory or get them to mimic a rhythmic chorus or something they seem so perfectly equipped. 👌
I saw this behaviour with the pies round here. It seems like the adults are picking on juveniles but I think there's more to it. Do you know why? The mother at first was trying to keep sitting on one but then attacked it, not injuring. Social interaction training for when they have to find new territory I suppose. Do they get kicked out once the grey turns black?
