Magpies have never swooped me but Seagulls stole my hamburger
Love it
I feed the magpies in my street. They won't swoop you if you feed them a couple of times.
Im using my brothers acount,
My parents did the same before I was born.
They would even come into the house.
The pair I'm feeding now the male takes food from the hand. A couple of years ago a female maggie would hop on my knee when I fed her.
@@swimminlane3566 well I have a baby magpie that I rescued 2 days ago he poops everywhere like very 20 mins and I feed him a lot, it’s expensive.
Why isn’t her name “Hammond-May Clarkson”?
I'm a kiwi and I love magpies soooo much
Australians just over react about everything
@@lunadelic my brother once got a small hole in his head from one, ONE MAGPIE
I have rescued 3 magpies and loved them but they poop all over.
Give me tips plz. I got1
@@Reptar530 I also got one, are yours Ok? Mine is. I think I will start a youtube channel. I notice her doing allot of things I can't find anywhere.
@@L3X369 mine grew up and left after 2 months. Hung around my driveway flying at my face every morning. I miss cookie, but I understand.
I love them too. I have been feeding many generations of these intelligent beings for 12 years in my backyard along with many other birds like doves, finches, crested doves, etc 😀💁🏽♂️👍
why the hell did the woman talk in another language when the woman shes speaking to talk english????????
My question as well. I went to the comments to find an answer. Lol
Well they both speak, both languages but not all concepts are easily or always concisely translatable
Maori.
Look at the name of the channel mate
The random transition is pointless and annoying. Either make a video that's fully English or fully Maori
We've been feeding a magpie pair for almost a year now. The feeding became frenetic with mouthfuls of mince, cheese and occasional bread being transported to their nest to feed the two little ones. In the last three weeks these nestlings have become fledglings and in the last week mum and dad have introduced the kids to us. Now we've got two very healthy young magpies that are at our door begging for food more often than the parents. Foods been cut right back as they have to learn to find their own bugs and worms now!
Sorry but they are not supposed to eat mince it messes with their diet, they need to eat 3 times a day and they will then be expecting fancy foods, like mince given to them and starve. Search it up
@@sakura5427 A year later and all four are very healthy and happy. Nothing negative at all. They get mince and cheese twice a day, dawn and dusk. The rest of the day we see all of them out on lawns and in gardens foraging for their natural diet. The mince is sprayed with water to prevent it sticking to the inner beak. For the past week though, mum and dad have been shuttling food back to the nest to feed their new season chicks. If they are anywhere near as healthy as the two one year old girls still a part of the family they will be fine. Please don't make a comment that mince meat "messes with their diet" without explaining exactly HOW! Your statement becomes completely meaningless otherwise!
@@philxray666 dude a quick google search will tell you how bad this is the mince can rot holes in there beaks, and it doesn't have enough calcium, get meal worms from the pet shop if you must feed them. Birds also can't digest lactose very well, so feeding them cheese is also a no from all Bird experts.
@@gav1nbeyond You are correct in your assertions on mince meat. Maybe from days after I wrote this comment every bit of mince meat has been thoroughly sprayed with water to prevent such issues. Small amounts of cheese have done no harm whatsoever except supply any calcium shortage from the mince. After three years they are as healthy as could possibly be hoped for. We've raised two nestings this way and the third has hatched just three days ago. Dad only two months ago or less chased away these same two that had reached two years of age. It was so sad as they were so friendly and wanted to stay but the pressure and attacking from dad to get them to move on was immense and finally they gave up. I hope they found a mob of magpies to be with and are safe in the group.
@@gav1nbeyond BTW Tried the dried meal worm repeatedly by refusing them mince for days. All refused outright to even touch it in that time. Other bird species were okay with it but the maggies, no way were they gonna touch it!
That's a beautiful video. I love magpies, well all animals and birds. Good on those people who look after them.
me and my family saved a pet magpie from falling out of its nest and we looked after it but about 4 years ago it flew away we haven't seen it since. Is it going to come back, is it dead, or has it forgot about us?
FluffyPlayz it may have found a mate. I'm sure it still loves you. My rescue pigeons left but came back every day to visit. Some still let me pet them.
Gone elsewhere to be a real adult magpie
Doubt it's forgotten. Magpies are EXTREMELY intelligent animals. It may have migrated/been driven away, or found a mate. It may also have died, however that's only. One possibility and the greater odds have it still out there. I'm sure if it came back it would recognise you pretty fast, mainly by your voice
I think he just lost his way home.
@@mmaaiissee1 he may have gone to a pub and been adopted
I have takin care of wild magpies by my house for months and I saw the little baby grow up from its mom feeding it to it feeding itself but they don't trust me enough to go near me
I just saved a baby magpie today. It was in the Grass. What should I feed it with?
I have this baby/teen magpie that comes to my house every day and we feed him. :)
It would be a teen, I have a baby magie and he is like a fluff ball with a beak. He was rescued. I have to feed him with chopsticks and the food has to be moshed up and wet. I have to feed him whenever he squeaks which is usually every hour at the most, EXEPT when he is sleeping. I also have to give him water in a needle thing. :)
How do I get a fledgling magpie
Why go from English to a different language for?
because english isn’t the only language
They are Australian Magpies?
white backed australian magpies the magpies u see in victoria, not nsw or other states
Biddi What? You find Magpies all over the place, seen them in Northen NSW, seen them in northish South Australia (near rivers and damns and the like)
Love hearing maori being spoken. Great vid!
Why don't they breed in captivity?
Just adopted me a magpie ... fell out of the nest... mum pops in in the mornings to feed it and conduct lessons ... quite neat ...
Much love from Oz

The random Transition from English to Maori is kind of pointless an annoying. Either make a video that's fully English or fully Maori.
"Makipai," isn't Maori, it's pigeon English.
Hang on how is she able to tell what means "I love you"?
She's been around them and studies their behavior all the time
a pet magpie wa
Cook the man some fuckin eggs
you shouldnt cage Magpies or any other Birds
Opal Lucy agreed. I am from Melbourne and we have more magpies here than any other city. They are clever, funny and sociable birds. And I didnt know they were in NZ as well.
That isn't true... in Armidale every 2 property's has a pair of magpies sometimes even 9 all living together....... Also if you're wondering Armidale is a city so your comment is false.
Also they were introduced to NZ only the victorian ones though. (The ones with the white back). The black backed magpies in other states arent there
Well, up here in the canadas, we can't really do that, because hawks or eagles will eat them. So we do have a "safe place" for them to go if they feel threatened.
Agreed. You shouldn't cage Magpies. They can't be tamed and once they are capable of looking after themselves they will choose to be independent, flying off to seek territory and a mate (both for life).
Our suburban lawns and gardens are ideal territory and having selected their territory the pair will fearlessly defend it against other magpies, as well as perceived threats such as cyclists, postmen and children. They know who their friends are and where their enemies live!
The argument that capture and caging is a form of population control is simply wrong: take the male out and another will take over the territory; take the female out and the male will find another mate quite easily. Plant a forest and they'll go elsewhere.
i like mud pies
Hey bro,lits git sum feish n cheeps.
This feels illegal
