I have a family that brings their young to me every time they hatch so far for the last 20 + years and now I feed at least 30/40 birds every day ! .. I love them and when they all sing it's incredible.
It's fascinating how she'll warble a tune with her head up in the air, then when finished, look straight at the camera. It's as if to say, "Well now, how was that one?"
That is a female juvenile magpie I have them here everyday I feed them aswell they have come into my house I have called them Mags and Igor they feed out of my hand I love them and have grew attachment to them they have personality
I think they are very attractive birds - we don't have magpies here in New York, but our corvids are common North American crows and show equally high intelligence (some of the highest in the entire animal kingdom). We started feeding one adult crow as an experiment a few months ago and it was extremely timid, wouldn't come within about 50 feet of any of us and got spooked easily. Now, it has spread the word and brings 8 other crows along literally every day - most of them will come right up to us and take food out of our hands like your magpies do. It's such an awesome feeling
Can so relate to this - we have a magpie family, too. When he first arrived Baby was not allowed to take food from our fingers, it had to be offered by mum. Baby now comes in and yells for supper whenever he wants, and nips fingers if it is not offered fast enough!
😄👍 exactly like the family i have here! ( Brisbane - Australia) . Mum, dad and junior. She eats from my hand, dad stays afar and Junior screaming his head off asking for food to mummy. They are so funny and cute! They also come to may back porch and they call me for a treat. Love them 🥰🥰🥰
Well that was fun. I played this video and the magpie that was sitting on my balcony came right into the other side of my living room and sat about a metre from my feet. He is the brave one that I have been hand feeding for a month or two.
Same at my end. I get them all, the good, the bad and the ugly. But there are also cowards and friendlies. Top coward is Tilly the male who thinks he's the boss at 16 y/o. The singer is Peppy, the matron and wife of Tilly, who sings and waits for a meal. Limpy the screamer, always begs her mother for food. Other sons and daughters join in the chorus like Altar boys singing. Still, they are my friends of at least 17/18 years.
I'm in Aotearoa New Zealand and we have magpies over here. I love them so much! I live on the edge of the Red Zone reserve in ChCh. It's a vast green space created after the earthquakes. Rebuilding housing there is not possible because the land is too unstable. Birdlife is abundant and we have a magpie family who spend a lot of time in our back garden. Juveniles pester mum and dad just like this. When they've had a snack they sit in our apricot tree and groom and chitter-chatter to one another. It's such a sound of contentment - they are just delightful birds!
My magpies worked out where my bedroom was and were very demanding and loud if I wasn’t quick enough. The new people who bought the house will be wondering what the hell is going on
This season I've looked out my door & seen apparently-grown house sparrows likewise begging food from their parents; they must be doing similar squawking.
Her: "Sing, twiddle twiddle" Magpie's song translation: "I've seen your kind. I will watch you destroy yourselves and burn yet drown under your greed. And we we shall rise like a phonex in the night.....now feed me the scrumptious tidbits peasant!"
Love the magpies songs, I always felt they had a morning song, then a fairly ordinary one through the day and then a lovely evening song. None of my friends noticed. I in Cudgee just outside of Warrnambool on the great Ocean Road. I miss the magpie's songs and I miss all my wild pet galahs, who used to come to b fed and mimicked us
The birds r great I always have bird baths out for them ! And I give then raw mince! Nice to feed them and to c their babies cl oise by being fed to by their mum!
I can't wait to go to Oz and see these fabulous birds and loris and cocktails and budgies. I could go on and on ! Thanks for this video ! Lovely warbling song!
Because our wildlife carers take in so many young birds you may get a visit from a kookaburra. Blue or Brown they cackle to get attention, and I have had one land outside the door and ask for food, I dutifully placed some meat on the railing. Cheeky bird refused to pick it up, he opened his beak wide and asked me to drop it in - yes, I did!
Just be aware if you go hiking on east coast in forest/hills, Some bird noises may not be coming from the bird you think it is! ;) We have the amazing Lyrebird as well, Not only does it imitate other birds but chainsaws, car alarms, sirens,dog barking, mobile phone ringer and nearly everything it hears. lol It's quite amazing, Especially when it does a Kookaburra.
They are lovely! And your descriptions of them are spot on. LOL I know I’m 5 years late on seeing/commenting but I’m curious, do you still see them after all this time?
Mr Magpie was getting some mad names getting send his way... think he is getting a poor rap. He was singing too... Anyway props to Ms. Magpie for keeping em together.
Maggie's don't beg. Mine are more reluctant than the butchers. The BB will come when I whistle and bang there plate. The Maggie's occasionally muscle in. The baby birds of each all squawk for food but Id hardly call it begging. A BB has come up behind me as I write. Cutest thing and every morning from 5:30 they call me out for food. What do you feed yours? I give mine cat grade mince which they like the best. It was dog biscuits that they first arrived for, stealing left overs. I looked up feeding them and this PhD guy said feeding wild birds can be really good.
You are demeaning a performer and a caring mother by using the word "Begging".She was giving you priceless pleasure and in lieu of that you gave her a very little.
I just keep a small natural garden compost patch of leaves and small, offcuts in a pile, a bit of grass clippings, about a mower catcher wide, and when the magpies come and sing out, I might hose it down a bit in dry weather so the worms and things come more to the surface where magpies can get more food, and interact with us as well. They like digging there in the garden where its moist and breaking down vegetation. A decent sized tub of water is something they love too and will call out for it on a hot day. Something about 45cm wide and 15cm or so deep is a good guide. They also like toys like a furry tennis ball, check out the video of ' woman who gives toys to magpies' , its so uplifting.
Magpies have a lean diet so feeding them processed food (mince, bread etc) is not good for them. Feed them beetles, grasshoppers, earthworms etc which is a more healthier diet.
You're fantastic for this; how come the dudes are so friendly in Aussie? Perhaps the people are more patient. UK/EU magpies are gorgeous but not very comfortable with humans, fair enough tbh.
@@sherrieoneillthompson7061 As the other commenter said, Artamidae which is I think an Australian only one. They were called magpie because of the black and white "piebald" or "pie" colouring.
Please don't feed them mince or muscle meat. It has no calcium in it, unlike insects. The parents feed mince to their babies and the baby's bones don't develop and they die. Suitable feed: 2 cups rolled oats: One tin of sardines in water, not oil or brine; a tablespoon of peanut butter to glue it all together. Rev in a blender with a little water to make a paste that is crumbly but sticks together when you squeeze it. Squash into little logs five or so centimetres long, wrap each log in clingwrap and freeze. Keep in the fridge after defrosting. Put in bin if it shows signs of mould. It lasts 3 or so days, so each little log should be no more that you can give them in 2 days. The sardines have edible bones.
that right there your comment horrible, can’t yoy see how nice this lady is being to animals? magpies are not rubbish until you experince them in your life. Oh, and also just because magpies swoop does not mean you need to hate them. magpies are not rubish you are. (modt humans are so cruel to animals.)
I have a family that brings their young to me every time they hatch so far for the last 20 + years and now I feed at least 30/40 birds every day ! .. I love them and when they all sing it's incredible.
Who says they don't look pretty? I think they're beautiful!
Kerensa Birch, yes I certainly agree with you. They are very very beautiful.
I’ve been gaining the trust of a mother and baby for months now, I love em feed them almost everyday
They perk your head.
YES Magpies are beautiful.. we have pair that have babies in our yard every year ♥
They are very beautiful and I just love their carolling. I love magpies.
Of course they're pretty. All birds are beautiful.
It's fascinating how she'll warble a tune with her head up in the air, then when finished, look straight at the camera. It's as if to say, "Well now, how was that one?"
The baby is just like "I CAN SING TOO!"
+DeathsBestBitch that's not a baby he has grown but still acts like one so he could get easy food from the mother
@@wormholetimes9839 so they are like human teens
The juvenile magpie is saying feed me, feed me, I am starving, feed me, feed me
That is a female juvenile magpie I have them here everyday I feed them aswell they have come into my house I have called them Mags and Igor they feed out of my hand I love them and have grew attachment to them they have personality
They seem so friendly and take to humans who are interested in them

These birds sound like no other animal I've heard before, including birds.
Gorgeous birds and once trust is established, they become quite tame ❤❤❤
I had never seen a Magpie until now. Thank you for posting!
Can so relate to this - we have a magpie family, too. When he first arrived Baby was not allowed to take food from our fingers, it had to be offered by mum. Baby now comes in and yells for supper whenever he wants, and nips fingers if it is not offered fast enough!
Magpies have to be my favourite local bird! They're so pretty! 🥰
to hear magpies warble in the mornings is marvellous!
Love magpies. So cheeky and full of character. 😎
Love their metallic chirping.
😄👍 exactly like the family i have here! ( Brisbane - Australia) . Mum, dad and junior. She eats from my hand, dad stays afar and Junior screaming his head off asking for food to mummy. They are so funny and cute! They also come to may back porch and they call me for a treat. Love them 🥰🥰🥰

Intelligent and cute!
I just love their singing.
Magnificent birds. Have had a bad press from their bombing ability and the connection to the Collingwood Football Club. Both not their fault.
The Collingwood Football Club not Their fault. Surely you jest. Carn The Demons 2022.
That’s pretty music that they create!!
I love magpies , they have such character and beautiful voices .
This season I've looked out my door & seen apparently-grown house sparrows likewise begging food from their parents; they must be doing similar squawking.
Love them I have five Maggie’s come in and sing for their breakfast
I like their amazing sound
Aaaaw! They’re sooo beautiful and so charming and funny! Magpies are clowns!
You and your family are lucky to have ringside seats at Mother Nature's concert.
from your description they are a typical Australian suburban family
Her: "Sing, twiddle twiddle"
Magpie's song translation: "I've seen your kind. I will watch you destroy yourselves and burn yet drown under your greed. And we we shall rise like a phonex in the night.....now feed me the scrumptious tidbits peasant!"
Omg so cute...I love it. 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍Best wishes from germany ♥️

Go in Spring....see the more wild side of their personality

Glad to see you paying this working musician ;)
This is so adorable ❤️
Baby: "Hey? Hey? Hey? Hey? Hey?"
Amazing sounds thanks for uploading ,Ive got Crows Ive been helping them out for the last 4 years .So funny the interactions with them.
Singing for their supper.
Beautiful singing😍
They are lovely! And your descriptions of them are spot on. LOL I know I’m 5 years late on seeing/commenting but I’m curious, do you still see them after all this time?
I think Magpies and all corvids are beautiful . . . and so clever.
Australian magpies are not covids.
Australian magpies are Artamids, not Corvids, different family altogether. :)
Playing for my cats almost got my swooped as the baby called all magpies in my area lol
It's like some of the alien voices from the old game Spore.
Sweet family- mother gt the fairest voice.
Your Magpie is trying to access Dialup Internet! lol
everybody loves a magpie.
…except for the neighbourhood cats who frequently gets bullied by the magpies… 😸😾😿😸
🥰💕💙💜🙏👌
SO LOVELY, YOU ARE SO FORTUNATE. MILDURA VIC
VERY cool!!!
The youngsters sound like when you play with a balloon as it deflates. "Wee-EEE-eee-EEEEEE"
Love there personally
baby magpie
I wish my friends good luck with the video.
While your Magpies look very much like ours in Colorado, USA, ours are definitely more shy of humans and not quite as vocal.
The American magpie (Black-billed magpie) looks a lot like the Eurasian magpie. If I hadn’t looked it up, I would have thought they were the same…
💓🤗
Mr Magpie was getting some mad names getting send his way... think he is getting a poor rap. He was singing too... Anyway props to Ms. Magpie for keeping em together.
baby bird: MOM THATS FOOD FOOD MOM THATS FOOD
Nice lady
They should sing Powerwolf
😁🙏🕊️
Does the mommy sing or both ? We have them here in Qld
Kids these days..
Thay want everything handed to them the easy way lol

Aawww always a mother..

I agree m8 that's not begging at all they were performing for u and U insult them
Do you notice she repeats the note pattern twice?
👍
magpie
What is their favorite food? I have one in my garden and I give him bread which he eats but doesn't seem his favorite dish.
The one that visits mine loves cheese 😂
@@aliciabriggs9696 thanks
We feed ours cat biccies, they have nutrition in them and our gang soon teach their young to swallow them.
I just keep a small natural garden compost patch of leaves and small, offcuts in a pile, a bit of grass clippings, about a mower catcher wide, and when the magpies come and sing out, I might hose it down a bit in dry weather so the worms and things come more to the surface where magpies can get more food, and interact with us as well.

From Oregon...The Black Billed Magpie
Isn't as musical. And has a way, way longer tail. This is very interesting to see and hear.
@M A Thank you!
That's amazing. What genus are they ?
They are very interesting, that's for sure.

Singing for their supper. Is meat okay?
Occasionally meat is Ok. You can actually buy mealworms from a pet food store. They're a better choice because they're a normal food source for them.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

its probably asking you for a date。
