My Unusual Life | The Man Who Lives With a Magpie 

Loki as a Disney princess

aside from the bird shit in his house it is beautifully decorated

Their friendship is just brilliant. I really like this man.

Loki?! Orlando Bloom?! ARE YOU THEIR LOVE CHILD

His so eloquently spoken. It really goes to show that all animals have their own personalities.

''No, I don't get jealous.'' xDDD but her face says otherwise hahaha

I love how he doesn't sweeten the life with a bird, he's honest about how hard cleaning and feeding them is, preventing unprepared and thoughtless people from wanting one as a pet. Also, I love magpies - it's so weird one of the smartest animals on the planet just walk among us in the cities, and we don't even pay much attention to each other.

I remember reading that Tesla, when he was 12, trapped a crow in order to study it. He said that dozens of crows descended upon him, seemingly from nowhere, and dive-bombed him until he let the crow go. After that, he had a huge respect for crows, their loyalty, and their courage.

This guy is a 2000 year old vampire.

I rescued a magpie, which I named Pacino, a few months ago which had been attacked by a cat and had an injured wing and all her tail feathers ripped out. So I kept her for a few weeks, fed her up, let her heal then released her. She couldn't properly fly when I let her go so she stayed in my garden up in the trees and on the shed, and after a few weeks her feather were grown back enough for her to fly. She will still come back to my garden, now with her mate, and I can recognize her from her uneven feathers. They're ridiculously smart animals and I totally get why he enjoys having one as a pet so much.

I have a young disabled magpie, vets said he'd never survive in the wild so looks like he's here to stay

This man is so beautiful and kind. If I met him I might just fall in love straight away.

'humans and crows need to set aside their differences'

The funny thing is I cared for a magpie for a few weeks, when I found it half dead in the park near where I live. I brought it to my garden literally just 5 metres away, to keep it safe. It couldn't fly and he had a gash along his neck and back (possible cat attack). We tried local wildlife aid... nothing. vets.... again nothing. I didn't want to leave it so I kept it in my large shed at night with everything it needed. Every morning at six, I'd let it out for fresh air, run around the garden, gave it food. He would like to spend hours outside can then run into the shed when he wanted. Everyday we did the same, but I kept my distance. And then finally it started to flap it's wings. And then the next day it flew away. So proud of him!

The child of Loki and Legolas

0:46 Poking his eyes gently. That's some trust 😱

This guy is comedy gold. Everything he says is just a bunch of funny one liners. "twenty years of shit scrubbing."

He looks like Loki, I can't help myself.

Came for the guy, stayed for the calm voice and the bird with an attitude. And I share the thought of how fascinating crows are. I really love the idea of making people understand that they don't bring "bad luck" or stuff like that.

I love crows they are so intelligent and cute. Wonderful birds. Cool guy also

Charlie reminds me of the crow that maleficent turned into a man

I miscarried back in 1999 and for days after I kept seeing a rook sat outside my bedroom window, then everywhere I went there was one just seemingly watching me, I have moved home about 9 times since then but everyday 1 rook comes and feeds in my garden, I swear that is my son, not all babies become butterflies or angels, my son is a beautiful, magnificent Rook xx

Keep going bro life gave u a calling

It does my heart so much good to see other 'crazy bird people' in the world. There has never been a point in my life where I wasn't around birds, and I don't intend for there ever to be. It takes a lot of time and patience to really connect with them, but if you can do it, it's one of the most rewarding relationships you can have.

you know what? i've been using the internet for so long now that this doesn't even rank on the list of bizarre things i've seen. it's actually quite nice

This is so sweet and pure, just a happy dude with a happy Magpie and a crow cafe

So this is what Loki does when he's not in Asgard

no... no, i don't get.... jealous. *forehead vein explodes*

His love and passion is beautiful! Amazing guy

This is so cute you can tell they're pretty much soul mates 💞

I fed a pair of wild crows in my garden this past few years. Unfortunately, last year the tamest disappeared. The other came briefly, then left. I can't help but think my favourite crow passed away. I used to feed them several times a day for about 5-6 years. I really miss them. The crow cafe sounds lovely! I never thought I'd love crows, until two adopted me! They used to sit and watch me in my kitchen all the time. It's not the same without them.

7:10 I'm about 98% sure that is Billie Piper!!!

Its funny how this dude looks exactly like someone I imagine would have a crow

That magpie has such an attitude, i love it

This gentle soul is Charlie Gilmour,the son of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour

When your summoning level reaches 47....

I did the same thing with a jackdaw but wife didn't like him so I gave him to an animal sanctuary. That was about 20 years ago and I still miss the friendly little fellow. I should have taken her to the sanctuary and kept the bird.

He's such a sweetheart, I hope his Magpie is always by his side.

"I think when something needs you that much you can't help but respond, even if they're climbing up on your head and shitting on it" No truer words been spoken

"YOUR TEARING ME APART LISA" XD

Much love to this man.

I have a pet sparrow. She steals cereal from my bowl and plays in my hair. And is sitting on my finger as I type this!

How is it weird to have household magpies? In Australia (rural areas at least) heaps of people have them as pets or just really friendly birds who come to your porch for a feed and pat.

one thing I hate about humans is how fast we judge based on movies and what people say, without actual experience themselves. I use to be scared of sharks, spiders, snakes and crows... and not for a good reason.

He looks like a magpie

There's a magpie that has just chilled outside my window for the last few months, it comes and sits there every morning! I kept associating it with bad luck and hoping it would go away but then I realised it was actually a very beautiful animal and I look forward to seeing it while I'm working away!

Never ever tell this man that if one brings you sorrow, two can bring you joy.

The crow family definitely deserves respect and rebranding, they are such cool, social and intelligent animals. I remember working one day by the window and a crow was playing by taking stones, flying up, dropping them and trying to catch them again before they hit the ground. After a while some of his/her flock joined in and they were racing each other. It made me very happy to see animals doing something that must have been just for fun :) and not only that, but a game they had invented themselves.

That man is so beautiful, I'd put up with the bird shit like that girl, too.

"The more he grew the more he shat" best line ever

I rescued a young magpie wich couldn't fly, bring it home for almost 3 weeks, I taught Pica (his name) to fly cause I had some experience with juvenile lovebirds. Sometimes when I went for a bike I'd take it with me, but one day it just flew to a very tall tree... I waited for hours, but it still wasn't super confident in flight so I had to leave it there. I hope it's doing good and learnt how to care for itself; even if our bond lasted only for 3 weeks, today I still miss my little Pica

Loki

Let's be real: He looks like a 14 year old Loki

Orlando Bloom

Orcas of the skies, that's what I call them. Beautiful!

Only me getting a "Oh hi Mark" vibe? xD

Please lord dont let the bird be run over by a bus. That man will not survive.

I find this unbelievably sweet. Live and let live😊

I love crows. We have crows, mockingbirds, seagulls, morning doves, finches all around us. Crows are so special. They take care of each other always coming to help each other when one is in trouble. Just awesome work. Birds sharing your life take over. We have a cockatoo and the world revolves around him!!

Awesome story .... You're a very special person to have cared for this baby bird when he needed you most and continued to do so, even when it became difficult (poop everywhere!). SO MANY people do the opposite and turn away. You have my deepest admiration, sir. Thank you, sincerely !

What an incredible person with a big heart. I love how he makes a difference to educate people! It truly is nothing what people think of birds they are indeed very social and very smart!

" I did taste one it tasted like oats" is he serious 😂😂😂

They are always welcome in my garden, jackdaws, crows, magpies, I love them all…….so characterful and intelligent ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I also live with a Magpie and really dont wanna miss it but if it wants to be free and leave for good, so shall it be. But gladly He always comes back after i helped him getting fit again. I cant Tell how smart and lovable they are

@7:10 is that billie piper, she is pretty

If you can potty train a parrot I'm sure you can potty train a magpie, he should give it a go at least!

“Empty nest syndrome” lol adorable

He’s beautiful

In this now awful, selfish world we live in, it is so lovely and refreshing to see a young man like Charlie, do such a lovely, genuine act of kindness for this magpie, who without this young man's love would have died. It is clear the magpie adores the adopted parent (Charlie) and it is clear that Charlie feels the same. We can learn so much from creatures (even insects), they all do so much good towards the world and teach us how to treat the world and each other. Bees for example collect pollen then make all this wonderful honey, (that most of us take for granted). The love (like all animals show) is an unconditional love and Charlie will be paid tenfold for his genuine love and true kindness. I don't believe our creator is a man in the sky in judgement of us all, but i believe it's the spirit of all love and that the universe is made up all that love. This is truly a lovely video about love and the unconditional love Charlie gets in return is just a joy to see and so refreshing to listen to a young person that can actually speak the English language, rather than finishing every other sentence with "do ya know wha' i mean!" I hope they both have a long happy life together, 'Faith, hope and love, the greatest is love...'

Magpies are so wonderful! i had the privilege of raising one here in New Mexico. She (?) had fallen in water and my neighbor found her and gave her to me. Rraca (Urraca is Magpie in Spanish) took over my life too, but it was the most fun. Does yours ever get mad tho...wow, she would try to take anything I was using, especially paint brushes, and would get so mad when I would take them from her! I learned to distract her with something else, an angry bird with a big pointy beak and strong feathers is not to be messed with. She flew all over the house, and outside, I would call her and she would land on my head, ouch. cuz they land and grab at the same time.. she loved to follow me on my bicycle, and would sit on the handle bars sometimes. She also stole things and had hidey holes all over the house. She hid peas in my pants cuffs one time, so silly. And loved baths, what a mess, and would dry her feathers in the sun with her head cocked to one side, basking I guess...I really miss her.... the flock of Magpies here wasnt her flock, and she was getting pecked on, so I worried about her fitting in...but there was a terrible accident, one of those split second timing things, and she got killed, so I didnt get to know her but one summer. I miss her terribly and loved watching yours in her beautiful "nest". I was hoping Rraca would be able to live wild...and just come visit from time to time, and I still cry when I really think about her. Her poop is still on lots of places, its hard as a rock and doesnt smell at all. RIP Rraca, you were loved.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!....I am in love with crows I live in Seattle Wa. And have been developing a relationship with our crows by constantly feeding them and have been gifted by them. I ADORE crows ravens and magpies! Thank you for sharing this BEAUTIFUL story and for lovingvthese AMAZING birds! 🐦

He’s going to have the best chat up story/Line ever. “Hey ladies/gentlemen would you like to see my friend the magpie?”

No one going to mention he is the son of David Gilmour? The guitarist from Pink Floyd?

is that Billy Piper at 7:10

The fact that this guy is David Gilmour's son

I came for the crow, but fell in love with the couple

Yes, but is nobody going to mention how attractive he is?

he reminds me of Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbeans

I live in Australia. We have 5 kookaburras and 2 crows come everyday at sundown to greet us and get some food. ^__^ very intelligent and sociable creatures. We love them.

Great story, and a very wonderful, caring man, who he knows, is extremely privleged to have a bond, with a beautiful, intelligent bird .

I have been visiting and feeding two black crows on Hawks hill in Sausalito above the Golden Gate bridge where I take my morning walk. These two crows are the sweetest and mannerly birds I give them old fashioned oats and the show gratitude they bring me a gift of sticks and pebbles. They are very large as roosters. They are cleaner than humans, they love to clean and take bathes humans should learn to be as clean as they are.

8.21.2017. i have a cockatiel that is 24 years old. the band on his leg says "4-93". i got him for free. he was flying around my neighborhood in the summer of 1993. he went down to drink out of a mud puddle and i told my wife "that's somebodies bird that got out". i went up to him and he hopped on my hand and i put him on my shoulder. i took him home and the rest is history. my 2 girls when they were growing up loved him and it was a good thing. he is part of the family. he has about a 5 word vocabulary. his name is BOYD.

Crows, ravens and magpies are my favorite birds. This is awesome, I would have loved going to the crow cafe. What a lovely video.

I had a wild crow named, 'Limpy"I live in an upstairs apartment that has a roof of a garage in front of it so that's where he would go and I would feed him. We named him limpy because he had something wrong with the bottom of his foot claw if you will... And walked on the bend of his leg like wear an elbow would be and his foot was up in the air hence the word limpy because he limped.... We had him for approximately two and a half years in the wild he would come every day he would follow my car down the street and knew that we were coming home and sit on top of the garage roof and call out to us,''kaaw...Kaawwww" as we walked up our stairs. (He would sit and wait for the food because he knew that we saw him and he was going to get fed every time!) *I and my sons truly loved Limpy with all our heart's.... we would throw him broccoli,lettuce, biscuits little pieces of sandwiches.... he really liked peanut butter and jelly.... At one point he started bringing a girlfriend with him and she would go down and get the food after primping him and cleaning him and she would actually put the food in front of him and let him eat first. Crows are magnificent birds! Be kind... If you're having leftover bread that's getting hard and you know you're not going to eat it crumble it up and toss it around the base of a tree birds will find it and it's a kindness and a blessing to you..... Take care and God bless.

Why do the cute ones always have meal worm breath?

This has been my life almost to the letter in the 3 weeks since I found a baby blackbird. She's currently on my (very scratched) shoulders preening her feathers.

Your classic upper middle class British eccentric... Can't help but love people like this 😊

"It’s gonna be the world’s first crow café, where you can spend an hour in the company of crows, learn about their incredible qualities and have your head shat on." Pity. I was so waiting for him to say that. Very likeable fellow though and I really appreciate his efforts to improve those birds' reputation. I love watching them in the wild, being inquisitive, playful and sometimes outright silly. I never understood how one can dislike them.

Is it just me, or does he look a bit like Howl from Howl's moving castle??

I had a Maggie as a pet when I was about 12 years old....they like it when you roll them over & scratch there belly. they will play fetch too. there more intelligent than most people realize.

I love crows. Raised one years ago and he became the joy of the neighbourhood.

I figure if something is willing to shit on my head, it probably doesn't need me.

OMG 7:11 was that Bill Pipper aka Rose Tyler or a really good look a like?

He looks like an aged homeless version of Legolas

Cute baby! Awww! I have allways loved crows and ravens. Bird: “this is my father. He doesn’t look like most birds but I like him. He is a silly bird”

Thank you to all of you for educating people... I don't know why but I love them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Crows are one my favorite animals of all time. They are so intelligent and I love these birds.

Some birds still feed and protect their babies when they fall out of the nest. And I am pretty sure crows are one of those birds. So don't be too quick taking a fallen bird home with you. Not only you will risk being attacked, it's not always neccesary. Only when the bird is injured or in serious danger (like traffic) or when you are absolutely sure it's abandoned from the nest. 🕊

Amazing people living with birds...I wish a life like this...this is paradise..God bless you all for ur selfless love and care

What a interesting man
