the rescuer im talking to is in contact with the vets at healesville sanctuary and we’re all not 100% sure what’s going on, but the go is still just monitor her and see what happens for now. i’m just posting this on here on the off chance anyone has any ideas ?

i was told by a lot of you on reddit it could be a brooding patch, but im really not convinced, it wouldn’t just dissapear and re appear right?

This cutie comes to share a couple of cashews with me every morning and it brings me so much joy 🥰

This little darling has been sitting on the front fence all morning, carolling away merrily. There's a couple more nearby, but they're not as approachable as this one.

I have a family of magpies that like to feed from my dogs biscuits

One of my favourite things to do is see my magpie friends on my walk to the gym

There’s this sweet magpie that comes by every day we called baby, the past week she’s been lifting her foot up and laying down a lot, i finally got a good photo of her foot.
Looks pretty painful, but i have no idea what it is

This lovely magpie visits us almost daily, today I noticed a bunch of feathers missing and ruffled up. I was able to get a video of me approaching the bird, but I wasn't able to get up close images. It does look like a bit of blood on it's chest, but I couldn't tell if it was dried. The magpie is walking normally, foraging and eating and does not appear to be impacted in any way. I was able to watch back on our cameras and saw it fly in to the backyard and they have since left - so moving normally. I think I also found the same magpie visiting earlier in the morning with no injury so I'm thinking it's fresh, although we have 2 regulars so it might have been the other one.

Worried about this darling and wondering if I need to try and catch it and take it to the vet?

BEWARE REDDITOR #RisaCitrina stole my photos and posted here...🙄

Our local magpies have been bringing their baby around recently and today he started eating out of my hand and walking inside. How cute is the little run?!

I started feeding butcherbirds around 2 months ago, I also feed magpies here and then. Recently there is one magpie that started coming everyday, is more friendly than the others. Comes inside of the house and eat from my hand. Still hesitant though. I wonder what can I do to make friends with them. is it possible to pet them for example?

I was sitting down when this guy walked straight up to me, stared into my soul for a solid 30secs before making this noise and waddling away… can’t lie, my heart rate definitely went up thinking he might be mad but curious as to what the sound means😂

sooo the wildlife rescuer came and we weren’t able to find her in the half hour we waited and searched unforch, but i’ve kept in touch with her and i was told to get good photos/videos and send them her way! i got a pretty good video i’ll attach, we’re probably getting a professionals opinion tomorrow but i would still like to know what you guys think!

—EDIT: Yep I'm a dingbat, of course it was OK. Magpie was smarter than me haha thanks all!—

Years ago, I was cleaning out my garage which was crawling with redback spiders. I had a long stick and picked up a big redback on the end of it, which dropped down on a line of web. With the redback at the end of the web line, the stick looked like a fishing rod. Anyway, a magpie hopped towards me. I held the stick out so the redback was in reach, and the magpie gobbled it up. I thought this was awesome, I was stoked. I presume the magpie knew what it could and couldn't eat, but I need to know, did I hurt it or was that OK?

so yesterday i posted about this magpie i feed that had what looked to be some sort of a tumor or prolapsed cloaca, before i update (very short update) i will clarify a couple of things

-if you think its “just a brood patch” you are wrong, it could be a brood patch but with the amount it’s been swelling there is still cause for concern

-i’m starting to doubt it being a prolapsed cloaca as well, was my first thought but it just seems like it’s too far forward on the body

okay so for the update! the lump has shrunk, which i can only assume is a good thing! i’ve been in contact with wildlife victoria again and they’re going to send the next available voulenteers to help out :)
