Good Morning!

Good morning/afternoon @Bubbles3.

Not great today but will get there. How are you today?

Hello @Bubbles3 🙂

I am feeling better now 🙂 Thank you for caring

I have just seen your Magpie post. I have had a couple of Magpies in the past. For such a common bird, I found them extrodinarily wonderful. I didn't realize they could immitate whistles, until mine did so 🙂 I used to let them out so they could hunt their own crickets and things {both were injured in such a way they could not fly, I would not keep a wild animal that could return to the wild} and they would spread themselves out flat on the ground, sunbathing 🙂 They do it to help with body mites and the likes. One could occasionally catch the wind in such a way that it was able to get high up in the trees. I would put cat biscuits into a jar and shake it and they would {eventually} come back down 🙂

I'm not sure if they are natives, but I know you can take native animals into your local Vets and they will treat them free of charge. I imagine you know that they are extremely fragile creatures and that infection is a huge thing with them. Vets will also have the specific food that is best for them and be able to give you the best advice.

Good luck to you and baby Magpie

@Bubbles3I did read that you have adopted an injured magpie. Hopefully you can nurse it back to health. Hopefully Gizmo is not getting too jealous!!

Hello @Bubbles3,

I think the food for your little guy might be - Wombaroo Insectavore rearing mix. You can get it at vets and some pet suppy outlets. My child and I used to have a great deal of fun catching crickets - it really takes quite a bit of skill 🙂
