When my mother was ill Magpies started visiting her and their babies too, they sang when they arrived so she would bring food out! Her ginger cat learned magpie speak too and always sat chatting away like they were his friends! When she eventually went to live in a nursing home they slowly left! 🤗
Ryan, please(!!) look beyond the hype about magpie aggression. Male magpies swoop during breeding season to protect their nestlings. Only males, only a few weeks per year, and, despite the media hysteria, only a small percentage of those swoop aggressively. They are highly intelligent. They live over 20 years, recognise individual humans in their territory, and respond to those individuals according to how the humans act toward them.
This is true. I like birds and animals in general, so I've always noticed and interacted kindly with local magpies. Whistle a tune and make a few clicks every time you see one, so it looks you in the eye. Never give them grief, and they will never give you any. I have never been swooped by a magpie in all my life. Noisy miners on the other hand.... every bloody spring.
All swoops are aggressive.

I feed the magpies everyday however when I leave my home the bastards swoop until I’m back on the block, it doesn’t bother me I tell them no more food, they give me the side eye walking into the kitchen to be fed, one of them sits on my dogs back as he walks around the back yard
Ryan...look up Molly and Peggy. Molly is a male magpie (strange name). He was rescued as a baby after a big storm on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Peggy is a staffordshire terrier. They have become world famous. The magpie chooses to live with the family although it can fly free at any time.
I wonder if this is the lady that reported them
@@bblake5116 Um no, I live in Victoria....I would only ever report animal abuse. I know Molly is safe and happy.
We have a family of magpies visit our yard every year for the last at least 20 years. They sing to you, follow you around etc. They can be vicious. When it is time for the next year's breeding they chase off their young and they really get nasty, pecking and attacking them until they leave the parents territory. It's sad when the babies get chased off as you have bonded with the whole magpie family.
We have a family of Kookaburras, King Parrots, Cockatoos, Lorikeets, Rosellas that visit our yard. They love to hang off the bottle brush tree sucking nectar etc or pecking at pine cones etc.
I'm biased but I think Australia has some of the prettiest birds around and they are so entertaining.
Ryan should you feed them they remember you there so smart. My dear mother would feed them they would turn up peeping through her windows at the front door, waiting to be fed, . You should try and come out here with your family and check it all out, I’m sure you’d blown away. 😊😊😊
Birds do remember. I’ve returned the call of king parrots round my neighbourhood for years and now often when I walk around my suburb they call when they see me.
Those were southern magpies probably in Victoria. Magpies and kookaburras are the most people friendly birds in Australia. Magpies spend much of their life on the ground and will let humans get very close before walking rather than flying away. If you feed and befriend them they will not attack you. I have had them often just walk into the house looking for me to feed them just like a cat or dog. Kookaburras are equally as friendly to people but spend most of their time in trees or perched on something like a patio rail.
I've had magpies bring me gifts. They are not pidgeons.
I'd say the majority of Aussies love our magpies. During the swooping season they're just protecting their hatchlings and any parent can relate to that. For the rest of the year they are a delight to have around.
So true, they do recognise people. I’d sit in the garden and magpies were around. Then they had babies, they can get very protective of their young, but because they’d see me each season, it was wonderful watching mum feeding them, then bubs squawking to be fed and she refused as she wanted them to find their own food. Yes they remembered me and trusted me as I’d just sit quietly and watch them each season - and then I moved. I still miss them.
The brain of an Australian magpie weighs approximately 12 grams. Considering their body size, that's quite impressive! 4% of their body weight. Magpies are known for their intelligence and complex social behaviours, which might be linked to their relatively large brain size. A human weighing 70kg has a brain that is 2% of their body weight. 50% less than a magpie! I'd be happy to be called a birdbrain. :)
Magpies are my favs. I rescued a magpie from a cat when I was a kid. The magpie lived with us for a few years (couldn’t fly) and learnt to talk. Since then, I’ve loved magpies. I have a family that lives near me and visits regularly., Never been swooped in my life. I think word has gotten around that I’m ok.
Magpies are as smart as ravens. They can solve puzzles and have good memories. I love their song. I always chat year round to the maggies in the nearby tree when I go to get my mail and they have never swooped me.
I mow lawns and look after other people's gardens, and I have magpies around me looking for worms and other things to eat. When magpies get to know you and know you will do them no harm they just get on with their life and leave you alone.
Our water metre out the front had a leak so I dug a whole around it, whilst digging a magpie landed right next to me and was happily eating worms out of my hand :)
It's a Aussie thing, well it is for me to have the love hate relationship with the magpies. I love the warble of the magpie. It's a alarm clock, it's home!
She is a wonderful soul. And she has her own channel and Insta page. She has a very special bond with these birds. They don't attack people. They defend their nests at mating time though. And, if you befriend your local magpies, they won't attack you when they have babies. They will actually bring their fledglings to meet you if they trust you. And, they remember people. They KNOW you. They remember good and bad people and will attack people who have tried to harm them in the past. They will also greet you if you were a good friend, and they see you months later. They are unique birds.
I found an injured magpie in the backyard, wrapped it in a towel and took it to the vet. They asked where I found it, so weeks later the vet people brought him back to release him in the same place, so he could find his way home. All at no cost.
Animals are smarter than we give them credit for. I have a 'collection' of wild birds who visit and talk to me. They all have their own personalities and names. Magpies, Butcherbirds, Rainbow Lorikeets, Crested Pigeons, Blue-faced Honeyeaters, Noisy Miners, Crows...they all come when called and also follow me around. Such curious creatures.
They are such smart birds, I’ve been lucky enough to have some visit
Magpies are very smart bird i have had ones that knock on my door just for company they just want to play
Yeah neighbours often fail to have the same fascination with seeing their clothes pulled off the line. A friend had a hand-raised pet cockatoo they eventually let out of the cage during the day and it did pull neighbours’ clothes off the lines, to their annoyance.
I was told that the reason why they go for people on bikes is because they can’t recognise you as well. And if you tease them they will remember and go for you. Same thing if you make friends. I have a little one who brings her babies to me. They’re so sweet and smart and I love their warble. Actually I have at least three friends who have bonded with their local magpies and they visit everyday. It’s pretty cool.
My daughter saw a magpie in her yard, so she went in and got a few mealworms (she has a lizard that eats the mealworms) and put them on her porch for it. Now it comes to her house every day begging for food. She named the magpie Patches, and it now even responds to that name. It's become so used to her that it sits on her hand and will let her stroke it. Patches has bought friends with him at times, but they aren't as trusting as Patches. It's amazing to watch, but it doesn't surprise me, because my daughter has always loved all animals, and I think they sense that.
We have 3 different magpie groups that live on our 5 acre rural property, they have never attack us. They always bring their young in to meet us each season. We admire them and sometimes feed them some seed but do not try to get too close to them, they often follow us around the yard. It is illegal to have any wild life as pets unless you have a permit to be a carer in Australia 😊
We got our shirts. Thank you, they are great.
Magpies are wonderful birds. I've had little black and white friends I fed every day. They learn quickly. If you feed them, they don't swoop you in nesting season. They recall people's faces. True story. They're corvids, same family as crows. They're smart.
I've had friendships with many wild animals over the years. Cockatoos, lorikeets, bush turkeys, kookaburras, magpies, mudlarks, doves, willy-wagtails, green tree-frogs, turtles and occasionally blue-tongue lizards. All of them wild. A lot of people have no idea of the relationships you can develop with animals and they have good and bad days just like us. They enrich our lives as we do theirs (if you care to).
Maggie's are lovely birds. We have three generations of a Maggie family that visit us most days. We love them dearly and they're a part of everyone's lives. 🐦⬛
Magpies won the award for the most beautiful bird call in Australia. Voted all over Australia. They are fantastically smart birds and I absolutely love them. Love waking up to their songs. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺♥️♥️♥️
We had a magpie family return to our backyard year after year having their babies and teaching them to fly. One magpie had a missing foot and would hop across the yard. They were very tame.
I was down near the harbour today and there were all these beautiful trees umbrellaing the area. Suddenly all these magpies started swooping on me. It is obviously nesting season !!!
Watching those magpies following her around reminds me of all the Disney Princesses where the wild animals chase after their favorite princess.
I have wild Maggie's coming in the shed when I am working on my old car and sing and sit on the end of the work bench 🙃
🖤🤍🖤🤍
Yeah I used to get magpies sitting on my clothesline, I threw a bit of food scraps out on the lawn one day and the bird looked at it, started singing, and yep, more turned up, they became regulars at my place.
Have a friendly magpie that visits daily, but he hates people with glasses and rushes off to harass them like his life depends on it.
Maggies are very smart birds. They will come visit everyday if you feed them. I love the sounds they make. When I was a child, a lot of children would throw rocks and stuff at them. And why they have that temperament.
My mum used to feed a magpie every year, and each year the magpie would bring her baby chicks to meet mum.
Magpies only swoop during breeding season to protect their young. The rest of the year they are very friendly or just ignore you. I have always made friends with my local magpies so I never get swooped. They love it if you offer them a little bit of meat to eat. I started by feeding some kookaburras many years ago and it wasn’t long before the local magpies started to show up at feeding time. They know me well and eat right out of my hand. I love the sound of the magpies warble. 😊😊
we had a family of magpies visit us near everytime we had a barbecue they were so much fun they are so smart
love maggies 💜 they're smart and beautiful. never been swooped or seen anyone swooped.
Last week I saw a magpie swooping on a pair of ducks.....it is breeding time here in Australia.....the ducks promptly flew away.
Every Aussie I know has a soft spot for Maggies. There's over 200 of them in my street, and it looks like a scene out of the movie The Birds, with them all perched on fences, roofs, electricity wires, trees, and all over the ground. I almost trip over them at times, and they hit me in the head with their wings when they fly too close to me. They are not aggressive, in fact I feel safe with them, like they are protectors. They actually are protective of humans they care about and trust. We love them. We love all our animals, which made the fires in 2019 even more devastating when we lost around a billion animals of all types. Growing up in the 70's and 80's I used to spend all my time outdoors and play in the Bush, where I would catch spiders, i.e. Trapdoor spiders, Wolf spiders, Huntsmans, and Redbacks, and I'd also encounter arguably the worlds deadliest spider, the Sydney Funnel-web, I also used to catch snakes and lizards as well. Us Aussies traditionally had a close connection to our wildlife, BUT the younger generations don't seem to care about that sort of thing now. Aussies aren't connected to the land/nature like they used to be unfortunately. Technology and pop culture, and being woke, matters more.
i have the same thing in my yard, except it's magpies, kookaburras, butcher birds, currawongs, lorikeets, black ducks, teal ducks, galahs, willy wag tails, black cockatoos, crested pigeons, bar shouldered doves, blue faced honey eaters and fairy wrens.
I had magpies as pets when I was a kid. Every year they would bring their latest brood up to the house so we could see them and feed them. Us kids never got bombed by them when riding under their nesting tree on the way to school. They used to love rolling down the slope in our front lawn. They woo by clasping claws in mid-air and spiraling to the ground. They often misjudged the let-go time and crashed to earth in the long grass. Like our cockatoos they are clowns.
We have a generational flock in our street, this is their 7th breeding season and they all just hang out on our lawns and they're chill. Never once been attacked
Magpies only swoop you during (spring) nesting season (which is now). Their warblle is lovely and can sometimes get very loud. They are territorial so theiir 'triibe' stays around your neighborhood and do recognise you. If you give one a snack (they LOVE minced meat) they will adopt you as that family adopted her.
Easiest way to tell a male or female magpie is the backs of males necks are pure white, while the females are more grey
your right but juveniles are not easy
I have one that visits me a few times daily on my balcony rail.
She eats from my hand for a while then fills her mouth & feeds her baby.
She brings me gifts too, mostly spiders & dumps them in front of me.
I grew up with a magpie as a pet - they are very intelligent
G'day Ryan, behind our farm house is a row of tall gum trees and a family of Magpies and for Generations they have lived with our family year in year out, the farm would be nothing without them, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Some years ago, my wife and i went on a fortnight holiday. I boarded the dog. There was a magpie nest in a tree in my back yard, the magpies paid no attention to us. When we arrived back home I let the dog out and it started to bark (strange). I went out to see what was going on, and it was barking at a baby magie which should not be out of the nest. I tried to put it back in the nest, because I had a dog. I was swooped may time and gave up, I kept the dog out of the back yard. After a few days the baby got it wings and took to the trees. Anyway, getting to the point. I could not go out in the back yard in breeding season for years, but my wife was able to hang the washing on the line with the birds also on the line.
I have about five magpies coming to my back door and they are friendly as their family has grown around us. The ones that attack people are only protecting their nests in breeding season. lol
Magpies have an undeserved reputation, most of the time they are pretty friendly.
Magpies are amazing. The live up to 30 years and mate for life.
Cool. 😊. A guy in Western Australia has released a video game where you ride a bike through suburban streets and battle with swooping Magpies
I just love the magpie call.
The visible difference between the males and females is the males are black and white, and the females are more black and gray. I've heard the junior ones are also black and gray, but I don't know this for sure. They have a beautiful sound which is called 'caroling', or as I like to say, 'toodling'.
For the species of magpie around us here in Victoria. The male has a clean WGHITE back and BLACK feathers elsewhere, The ADULT female has black feathers but a mottled grey back. Juveniles Have grey feathers and a mottled grey back.
What a coincidence, I just watched an Australian movie called Penguin - a true story about an Australian family who took care of an orphaned magpie. Highly recommend it if you're interested. You'll hear (words being shortened left right and centre) and see how this family takes care of Peng and vice versa. Starring Naomi Watts.
Had a gum tree in our side yard and for about 15 or more years she had babies in that tree. Totally wild but if you took a step back when you were in the yard you ad to look behind you or you would step on her. Every year we were introduced to the babies now about 15 years later the birds in this area don’t swoop. I tell people that we breed swoop free maggie’s in our yard.
Magpies can remember up to 100 faces
They are very smart
Only a day ago, the amazing Dr Jones did very funny short piece on Australian Magpies. Can be viewed on the ABC Science TH-cam channel. Magpies get a bad rap for their swooping but it turns out it is only a small percentage of males and only for a few weeks a year. Aside from that nasty habit, they are incredibly cool birds.
There is a family of magpies every 2 houses where I live.
Magpies have the MOST BEAUTIFUL songs! 🎶 A one-bird orchestra...
Actually, ALL our birds are pretty damn amazing. This is one lucky and amazing lady! 😁🌟 Love her. ❤
Some bird species actually HAVE a brain...
M 🦘🏏😎
Ryan I found a very young maggie at the bottom of a tall tree when i was about 8 took him home ,no way I can put him back ,at the time ,but at home there was already a white rabbit ,a young roo female ,two dogs one blind the other one just a constant moving tongue, one day 3 male dog's could smell her and come in the yard that's the moment I knew the maggie was part of the family, slept on the Labradors back for the rest of its life ,great mates ,the bird ment business, funny as shit
I bet Miss Magpie was her favourite character on Blinky Bill.
You can tell a younger magpie by the feathers, they look mangy. When they grow the feathers are pure black and white
The parent birds chase the juveniles away coming into the next breeding season. Those young birds often find a group of other youngsters to hang around with, and this probably the case with the group that found a home in her backyard.
They are gorgeous and love the sound they make.
It's true about making friends of them. I have done so for decades [I feed them] in different locations and have never been attacked. This must mean they can recognize individual humans.
Top birds Ryan, you stuff with them ,you'll get a lesson in manners
Maggies will pop up in our backyards...I had one on our 10 acre farm that used to pop up now and then when I had the wheelbarrow out and would sit on the wheelbarrow as I walked around the property picking up horse poop., he loved getting a free ride. You can tell a boy from girl because the girls have a mottled white neck, the males have a pure white one. I have a maggie now that calls in most arvo's for the past 3 years for a very thin slice of steak..I have it waiting for him now, I can hand feed him. I've never ever been attacked by a maggie.
Magpies are very sweet and playful. I have had the privilege of hand feeding them many times. They only swoop strangers during the nesting season. If you make friends with them, they won’t swoop you.
That’s a tame magpie, at least used to being hand fed maybe even hand raised
“I might become a vegan” … that escalated quickly! 😂
Maggie's are my favourite bird mate. They are brilliant. ❤❤❤❤
The magpie swooping is protecting the chicks in it's nest, not just being nasty.
I live in coastal Victoria with magpie friends that I've been feeding mealworm and other delicacies to every day for the last year or so. Though we're " friends" and I don't fear attack I agree with Ryan in that I would NEVER put my eyeballs in range of their beaks! These guys are lightning fast when it comes to snatching a tasty morsel! Their trust of me and my trust of them only goes so far - we keep a healthy distance. I love 'em to bits, nevertheless. 🇭🇲
I had a female magpie I fed only during breeding season. She would tap her beak on the kitchen window to let me know she was there. Her family never swooped me.
🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 Just what I needed today after watching Fox hosts praising Baier for his interview with Kamala Harris. He nailed it!......by having his arse handed to him?
Anyway, over more than 50 years since I first arrived in Australia from the west coast to the east, I have made very many magpie friends and many also valued my giant St Bernards and Leonbergers, landing on their backs to pluck out their dense, molting under coats for their nests.
Mmmm - magpies ARE great but I think they’ve got to know you - like the local (Your yard ones) magpies. Still gotta watch out for the rest.
She got a life (I imagine the “friend” thing came into being AFTER she became a wildlife carer) from being a wildlife carer - got the initial confidence from the magpies she befriended, became a carer, got a friend - it all gels.
From the Yard Magpies to the Yard Lorikeets to the Picnic Kookaburras & all in between … no not u Ibis (have u seen them perched on your fence - it’s not good). I’m reminded how lucky we are to live here in Oz.
02:50. Our pegs are spring-loaded. 2 carved pieces of wood (carved to allow a gap for the line) held together by a spring between them. We can now buy pegs made from just one piece of twisted wire, but I’m not sure if they’re as strong.
I’m really surprised if you don’t have them. Another brilliant Aussie invention?
I find the "twisted wire" ones much stronger.
Have replaced the wooden ones gradually.
Every Australian kid should have a maggie as a pet nothing more Australian when it's at the of a tree
I had a resident pair near my house. Every nesting season, I'd get swooped, but he'd pass about a metre above my head & I would just ignore him. At that time, I had two medium sized black dogs. One day a nestling landed in my yard & was instantly grabbed & killed by one of the dogs. The parent magpies witnessed this and were audibly distressed. After that, the male didn't swoop a metre above my head, he swooped at my waist level, aiming at the dogs! Years later, one of the medium sized black dogs died and was replaced by a large brown dog that the magpie ignored. He kept swooping the remaining black dog. Magpies are smart.
Does Ryan ever read comments? No replies, no hearted?
Best description of the beautiful song " This is my patch, bugger off! "
The young ones usually have an all-black beak and a lot of grey downy feathers
My sister has Maggie’s visit her every day ,will knock on door if she’s not outside
Actually, most people DO like and tame local magpies. They are very easy to tame. And they will walk around a suburban block, stopping in at the homes where they know they will be fed. That is walk, and not fly. They often just wander into my house and I'll be unaware they are there until I turn around and all these serious faces are staring at me from the floor and chair arms, etc. Magpies are not aggressive. Only about 10% of males get aggressive when guarding their babies, and they are back to being friendly as soon as the babies fledge. By the way, that magpie wasn't wild. It had clearly been around humans before. Males are larger. The young ones are grey to grey-black for about 12 months. Most of that group was juveniles kicked out by their parents. (Magpies are brutal when it's time to go. They give no leeway to their offspring, who then have to get out of that territoty and find their own. They stand on them and bite them mercilessly.) So large packs of juveniles end up together until they branch out and find a mate. We certainly shouldn't be eating creatures that are intelligent and suffer pain and heartbreak. And almost all animals have the capacity to love humans. Watch the You Tube video of the magpie playing with the dog.
They only attack during nesting season. For the rest of the year they are pretty sociable.
If you get to know them young they make great pets. Had one called Jaco I love their songs.
Magpies are smart birds, they remember peoples faces, if a person has helped a magpie, the magpie will remember their face. On the other hand if someone has been nasty to a magpie, that bird will remember their face, so whenever it see's that person it will swoop them. The other reason magpies swoop is when its breeding season, and only the male magpie swoops,because their protecting the female magpie,the babies and the territory they have claimed for the nest. The way to tell the male from the female magpie is the males have brighter colours, then the females. When the baby magpies are older enough to come out of the nest you'll often see Mum, Dad and the young Magpies on the ground the Mum will be teaching the young how to find food and feed themselves. While Dad is on alert for any predators.
Hi there. There is a difference in the markings of the genders, I don't know the differences but its there. The song of these birds differs from area to area as well, I could call the maggies
As others have said, the magpies swoop in the breeding season because they think people are going to hurt their babies. They're not hateful creatures, just protective of their young. 🇦🇺🦘
Next level cat lady
Magpies are from the Raven family, which are pretty smart birds in general. But not all birds are equally smart. Pigeons for example are rather slow thinkers. They can recognise people and learn some things, but it all takes a while.
I feed crested pigeons who give me a hurry up by sitting on the fence if I am late, and say Woo Woo greetings. The spotted turtledoves by comparison are shy and the rock pigeons bully the others but won't come as close to me. Crested pigeons have brought their youngsters whose crests look like they've just got out of bed.
You should react to Molly and Peggy. Or penguin the magpie. You’ll fall in love.
ay bro keep up da vids it bloody dope to see ppl tryin to learn about this beautiful land also fck plovers but maggies r chill
Magpies are basically Bipolar. They’re beautiful Birds, with a beautiful Song, but come nesting time they want you dead, haha. You just have to be aware of the Season and it’s all good most of the time.
They are vary smart birds
Magpie whisperer = magpie feeder
The young Magpies are more grey and white and as they age and mature, the grey turns darker till black and white
