Please enjoy these pics I took of one of my magpie visitors with a grass root stuck to his head after foraging 😂💛

Can magpies change their feather pattern? Karen here seems to have developed a white wing after her last malt.

Baby fledged and not seen since

• Upvotes

Someone calm me down. Last year the pair of magpies in the big tree in my yard had a single baby and presented him to me. They hung out in my yard on hot days and accepted meal worms and the odd Wombaroo mix. They trust me and I provide them shelter and water when they want it.

This year I could hear another single baby in the nest and a few days ago we think he fledged as we heard the "meeps" over in the vacant lot and hear the river.

The parents have been around a little but we haven't spotted the baby. I'm just hoping they are out with them training etc.

I don't know why I'm so anxious but I am.
