Baby Magpies - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
i came here cause i rescued a baby magpie a few days ago, and i’m trying to estimate how old she is. it’s so unbelievably friendly, it sleeps on my knee and everything.
Yes I now wrap mine up in a towel so he doesn’t poo. You also relive when they are talking they only talk bc they are hungry. When they shake there but they usually are going to do a poo
Idk how to teach it to fly.
@@sakura5427 well, what i did, is i help her in my arm, and i’d move my arm down, not fast she’s fall off, but fast enough she’s have to flap her wings, but a lot of the time, they’ll grasp that on there own. mine has actually flown away now, and i’ve seen her now and again, miss her so much but i know she’s doing great. :)) xx
The best thing to feed them is fresh thin raw beef strips about 1 inch in length!
@@joannemurdock7899 ahh yeah, well i had her for a few months, taught to her tricks and everything she was incredible. one day she was ready to fly away; I do see her now and again. i think to myself ‘what a great job i did’. :)
You Aussies are the luckiest people in the world as far as having wild, intelligent birds with cheeky personalities!
Every country on Earth has corvids. I'd recommend reading up on what your local variants are so you can watch videos of them too.
@@sniperdubey I was not just talking about corvids, but the vast array of intelligent birds in Australia
Magpies make very good companions I never had to cage mine they imprint on you early &are very easy to look after them 😀 👍
I’ve raised a few magpies. They’re so playful and smart
I just rescued one, what do you feed them and what are your best tips?
@@Geekingfr I know I’m late but for next time feed them wobaroo insectivore reariring mix every hour from sunrise to sunset. Only release them into the wild ounce they are able to hunt worms out of the ground by themselves and fly
great message. I found a fledgling in the road; took it home , immediately sought info, then learned I should put the little guy back; just not in the road. Hoped i did not traumatize him / her
No! Dang you probably killed that thing by taking it back. If it wasn’t scared of you at all and there weren’t parents nearby it wasn’t developed enough to leave the nest. Just for next time, don’t take all you’re avian advice from great home ideas.
@@starbirds2464 Never 'touched it' though and it was in the middle of the road at fledgling level of development (where they are commonly ground bound). Called around to people w licenced wildlife rescue, vets w special divisions etc. Wth is 'home ideas'
@@eschwarz1003 this channel
@@eschwarz1003 and if you never touched it how did you take it home
@@starbirds2464 meant hands; used towel
I thought it was really sweet that the rehabilitator, who is Asian, was feeding the babies using chopsticks
I love you guys. You're all heros.
A beautiful outcome - thank u everyone involved.
It's easy to solve the calcium problem, feed them mozzarella cheese along with the mince. They absolutely love lamb mince, followed by beef, then pork not so much, but surprisingly they turn their nose up at kangaroo mince. We've raised two very healthy babies where mum and dad took mince and cheese from birth to the nest. Now the whole family of four are at our back door daily!
The 2 animals you said they don’t like are typically full of worms in the wild, some food for thought.
That's ADORABLE..You should post pictures!!!
@@Nudiescorner The two young magpies (female for sure) have really become characters of their own now. While waiting for food they will sometimes squabble to the point of nasty. There's no "top dog" between them yet. One is so friendly she will take food from my hand, the other is a real sook and has a limit of one metre from me still. She cries to her mum who will still pick up mince from the plate and feed her like she still a nestling. I hope mum and dad don't breed this year, four squawking magpies early in the morning is more than enough.
Everyone says feed them mince, but vets universally say it's risky because of the ability of the meat sicking to their beaks, causing them to rot away-- and they're not wrong. If you can make the mince more wet than sticky, that helps, personally, deli meats are the way to go for me, but if they're used to you feeding them something, they don't like it when you change the menu. My magpie families have been LOVING mortadella ever since I moved in to my house, so much so that they even turn their beaks up to ham, or anything else I offer. Except cheese. That's like crack to 'em.
I do miss the old patriarch who used to come sit with me when the family was feeding, sadly he passed a couple winters ago, but the rest of the family continues visit to scratch up my lawn and doormats. Love 'em!
@@Booyaka9000 Yeah I've only recently heard the same advice regarding the mince meat sticking to their beaks. That's the last thing I want to happen to them. Hubby (the adult male) already had a deformed/broken beak before we met him. The top beak is two centimetres shorter than the bottom beak. He's funny when eating because he can only pick up the food by twisting his head sideways and sort of scooping it up into his mouth. Maybe he was fed mince when young by others. He's always been the friendly one, willingly feeding from our hands.
Wifey (mum) has always been cautious of us. Closest she will get is 1.5 metres. Mandy (daughter A) is just like dad feeding from our hand, Mindy (daughter B) is similar to mum but her safe distance is less, around one metre from us. This has never changed for any of them, that distance apart from us seems programmed into their minds.
I did read somewhere that any processed food was bad for them, mettwurst, pepperoni, ham even, so we've always avoided that. Can't at all remember why though! Time we started moistening the mince as you suggest. Thanks.
"Movie Star, a Movie Star; when I grow up I'm gonna be a Movie Star" - so that's what they are singing!
I’ve always liked magpies!
They are gorgeous and cute little rascals.
I’ve never been dived bombed as I whistle in there tune...n I love them
I pick one up in a shopping strip , all concrete no food , so now it is thriving with me but I'm worried about relocating to soon . There is one, thing I wonder what happens when the parents drive the kids off , I've seen it many times , the kids have to relocate anyway.
Food stuff. Great info
They so cute.
Smart, cheeky,
What a cute video
I just rescued one yesterday, parents wasn't around at all, but a cat was, the poor lil magpie was in shock and I taken it home and still hasn't eaten or drink water yet.... But it's still with me so hopefully later today, it does, im doing research on what's to feed it and will go to the pet shop tomorrow and get things I need, it's 12.35am and pretty sure I found it around 6-6:30 yesterday afternoon, I keep checking just in case, what else should I do????
My placid dog gets dive bombed in the back yard all the time by peewees and willy wagtails. She just ignores and puts up with it. She looks to me for help sometimes. No harm done to either parties. The Willy Wagtails sometimes just stay on her neck and flutter so she looks like she has little wings. So funny to see.
Harry's been on TV a long time by now, I think he got his start with "Healthy, Wealthy and Wise" circa 1990.
I want to hold magpies in my hand tooo 😭 It is actually my ultimate dream in life!!!! They are so cute!
I was dying to do that too, and I was blessed with rescuing a baby magpie in the breeding season. It grew up and it was the most intelligent beautiful creature ever. When it was ready we released it and we’ve never seen her since, so sad but it was worth it. You’ll get you’re chance to have one, just know it’s a lot of work, and they make heaps of mess.
Omg has it come true yet???
@@chicoziebirb5139 No unfortunately 🥲
This one of the most Australin clips ever
KUMICHO SAN!!!!!!!!!!
Wow
You feed them meal worms, crickets, garden worms, spiders etc
Arigato kumicho🙏
So what do you feed magpies....and don't say don't feed them when they come to your back door about 8 of them 3 sets of mum/dad & babies its amazing....yes I have been feeding them scraps of ham & salami but want to do the right thing .... so please tell me what to feed my feather babies and where to get it ... thanks
You can actually buy insectivore mix online ; loads of pet stores sell it and you can mix it up with a teeny bit of mince , a bit of cheese for calcium ( for people worried about the fat in cheese remember moths and caterpillars which magpies love are full of fat !) Our magpies also like a little uncooked rice and uncooked oats....it is a myth that birds can't eat uncooked rice ; Rice is simply the seed of a grass species and birds all over the world eat it.
@@cassiekay8633 thanks I actually go the insectivore mix plus some dried mealworms so all happening - they still love the bits of ham & beef plus one in particular asks for its salami slice - she luves it ❤️
@@deborahingles9392so lovely...ours like a few naughty treats too ! All animals do it seems including us ! :) ....My magpie friends brighten up the whole day. Our "baby" was so funny with a scrubbing brush the other day ! Not to mention hanging upside down of the washing on the line. When my children were little I used to put a sprinkler over the slippery slide on a hot day and the magpies used to slide down it too !
@@cassiekay8633 omg so cute my mob only started to come close to me - not quite hand feeding but and I know it’s silly but they eat of plates lol so I crouch down to them and spoon the food onto the plate and they are just a hand distance away but they will be in control they will have to come to me first
Just now one of them Tiny very vocal demanding something jumped from a chair onto the roof to play it’s hidy game to peep from the roof before feeding - funny cute things
Our cat still rules the back yard kinda they keep their distance but if their on the fence or near when she goes out I swear they are calling Cat cat cat in a deep voice lol
@@deborahingles9392. I think it is so sweet your bird friends eat off plates :) I agree they are so cute ! Our cat is fantastic with the magpies which is great. They even share the water bowl ,but our dog is so naughty ! He is so jealous . He pretends to be asleep ,but if they come close he jumps up and starts yelling and the baby actually falls over ! If I give them a shred of cheese he goes crazy . The cat asks me nicely for a taste ,but our dog only wants the bit of cheese the magpie has ..lol
My dog gets divebombed by willy wag tails. She tolerates them beautifully.
I rescued a baby magpie about 2 and it died today 😕
That's why I don't use public transport!
15-20 minutes - parents are returning or just the mother
50- 60 minutes I would say, since they (she) feed 4. Or?
Who came from daily dose of internet?
1:30
To the dive-bombing habit, I found myself being regularly attacked by a Peewee bird when I lived in Hervey Bay. It was odd behaviour for the species and I am curious as to how common it is compared to the adorable maggies.
Many bird species will swoop if their nesting zone is breached.
Less than 10% of magpies swoop and that's only for the 4 weeks that they have hatchings and nestings in the nest (about 4 weeks).
Magpies have a reputation because of media bias/sensationalism and also because they a bit larger than many of the species that swoop. They are excellent parents and arguably the most skilled, intelligent and sociable (with each other and with people outside of breeding season) songbirds in the world.
How many of u are here after finding baby magpies?
At 0:45

MAGPIES ARE NOT PETS !!
Those aren't pets they are rescues
