Australian Magpies coping in the Summer heat

- During the summer months we often have temperatures above 40 Celsius (above 100 Fahrenheit). The Australian Magpies as well as all other animals who live in our region have adopted to these conditions, but it is still a trying time for them. This video is a glimpse into their lives during this uncomfortable time and how they have learned to cope.
In colder continents like North America, birds have to deal with the exact opposite. Instead of extreme heat like in Australia they have to survive in extreme cold conditions.

I think our Canadian magpies have it much easier than yours do. Ours are excellent scavengers, finding roadkill and stealing food left out for the smaller birds. The biggest reason though, is that they only have to feed themselves in winter, whereas your magpies have to feed their young as well - that's gotta be tough. Really loved seeing the polar opposite situation 🙃🌏🌎😊
There are always bugs around and by the time summer really heats up the fledgelings are nearly grown. The heat is a problem though but they cope quite well and stay in the shade during the hottest part of the day. Usually they find enough to eat early in the morning to keep them going and there are bugs in the shade too. Even if your Magpies find a dead animal in a frozen snow covered Canadian landscape I still can't imagine how they can survive a night in the open
Our magpies seem to group together overnight which helps, but how they survive times like now when it’s-35C (windchill -45C), I just don’t know!
definitely not, our magpies down here don't have to live in Canada
There is no relationship between these species.
The Aussie is badly named by stupid English. The only true name I know of is: piping-crow-shrike.
The Aussie nests in the spring. The males can get to be a problem while the female is brooding.
They do not attack friends.
Australian Magpies are just as cool as Korean Magpies.
Happy magpies. I hope you receive many blessings from God.
Thank you
Amazing birds. Wonderful bird sounds. Like # 40.
Great observation. Brilliant presentation and video my Friend.
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome presentation and video.
Beautiful kangaroos. Take care and stay well. Have a happy and relaxing week!

So beautiful 😍 Very nice video. 🥰 New frnd here 🔔🙏🤝🤝
Thank you!
Beautiful birds, loudly singing, interesting video, thank for sharing🙏🙏🌹🌹👍👍
Many thanks!
Good day. Very nice video on Magpies and the cockatoos. Wow 40 Ceclcious, must be very uncofrtable for huamns too. Stay cool, dear friend Have a happy healthy life!
Thank you. Our houses are fully air-conditioned, so it is only uncomfortable when we have to work outside but we are used to it so it is not a problem. As a matter of fact we have a lot more problems with cold weather which people in cooler countries would find pleasant.
Wonderful and fantastic.. Super amazing and fabulous presentation.. Brilliant work.. Awesome birds.. Happy new year dear friend🎉🌸🎂✨
Thank you! Same to you!
Blessings to the content creator for gracing my screen with this outstanding and visually pleasing video.💓💓💓💓
Thank you
Amen!
Thank you for showing so many beautiful species on a cruel summer day. I hope they (and you!) will survive the heat!.
Once I visited Phoenix (Arizona) in summer when it was about 47 Celsius. The wildlife is remarkably adopted to dry heat there.
We regularly have temperatures above 40C but I can only remember having 47C once in our area. Living on the land we often have to work outside even in those temperatures. What we do is get a long sleeved flannel shirt and a large brimmed cotton hat and dunk it in water. When you put it on it feels cold like ice. Some birds regularly dive into the water on those days but the magpies rarely wet their feathers. I can never understand why, even the kangaroos constantly lick their arms to cool themselves, but the magpies just sit and suffer.
It's great you found a way of doing your work in that heat. Interesting observation about magpies 😊 @@wildhomevideos
Amazing footage of Australian Magpies coping in the Summer heat. 1 LIKE for the video.
Thank you Cheiko!
Wow, beautiful close-ups of the magpies. I wish the best for the birds and animals in the Australian summer. 🤗
Thank you😊
Magpies are always beautiful. It must be hard in Australia Summer heat. Take care.
Thank you for your concern. The birds are uncomfortable but they cope quite well. They learn to stay in the shade during the hottest part of the day and forage early in the morning. There is never a shortage of insects so they never have to go hungry.
Dont know how I missed this one🤔
Love maggies. Such intelligent & cool creatures! ..& those songs ❤️❤️
Thanks 👍👍🙃
Thanks! Yea, we love our magpie tribe too. With this prolonged drought they are starting to have a bit of a hard time. There are not as many bugs around. Hope it rains soon.
Wow เป็นนกกางเขนที่น่าทึ่ง Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you
Such beautiful birds ❤❤ Love watching them . Thank you for sharing ❣❣👍👍
Thank you for visiting😊
Good morning ☀️🌞 thank you for sharing my friend 👏👏👍🏻❤
Beautifully filmed, it`s really very hot weather. I wish you and all fellow readers a nice weekend. Greetings Jana
Thank you! Yes our summers can get quite hot
Agreed, yes it is nicely filmed.
Clever birds ❤ like the Sound
We love the magpies singing but the juveniles begging can get a bit much after a while😅
Witam serdecznie dziękuję za pokazanie super piękne ptaki pozdrawiam miłego wieczoru życzę
Happy to share it with you. Thank you for watching!
Very beautiful and interesting film.
👍
Warm greetings!
Thank you!
Very nice footages, nice sharing. L80
Many thanks
Somehow, the summers don't seem so bad when we are freezing here😀 beautiful magpies!
Hahaha yes! The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence😁
How true 😀 @@wildhomevideos
@@wildhomevideos certainly no green grass where you are. Your Maggies look a bit different to ours. Are you in Victoria?
😅OK. You got me! No Julie. We live in West Australia about 90 km east of Perth. The rainfall drops off sharply the further east you are from Perth. We have had only one rain event in the last five months. Victoria is generally much more green than here. I have seen magpies in the eastern states and have not noticed that they look different in general. We do see some small differences between the tribes though. Some tribes seem to have a bit more white than others, for example, but we have always assumed that those differences are due to breeding in the same group. @@juliehowe3
@@wildhomevideos your maggies definitely have more white than here on the Gold Coast. Continue your enjoyment of the local birds! Thanks for yr videos
A wonderful film showing the hardships for summer wildlife in Australia. Birds are remarkable especially when there is enough precious water and food (I see lots of insects are available) and trees. Here it is the opposite although in New York City we have not had snow for 2 years (as of today) and some migrating birds appear to be staying longer. I hope your summer is manageable this year. Warm greetings, Cathy
Thank you Cathy. Your warm greetings are truly appreciated although cool greetings would be even more welcome😅. Our summers would be devastating in cool climate countries, but we are used to it and have systems in place, so it's no big deal. It is uncomfortable when temperatures are over 40C but in a strange way we kind of like it too. There is a special feeling in the air on those days. We have ponds on our property so there is always water for the animals. The birdbath is not necessary but we have it in front of our kitchen window just for entertainment. It is interesting though, some of the birds prefer to hang out at the birdbath and there is one kangaroo which insists on emptying it most afternoons.The others prefer to drink from the pond, but not this one😐
Sounds like there's a lot of interesting wildlife personalities out there. Families...
Nice sharing my friend !!
Thank you
Excellent sharing
Thanks for visiting
9:52 absolutely amazing beautiful creatures
Thank you
Nice. Congratulations my dear friend ❤❤
Thank you!
These magpies look like gentlemen，they have unique call.👍
They are not as bossy as some other birds. Thank you for your nice comment
Thanks for sharing beautiful magpies . Hope you have a wonderful week ahead
Thank you! Same to you!
I like their call. Does look very dry there. Thanks for sharing.
When we filmed this we didn't have any rain for four months. But we have plenty of water stored in our ponds so it's ok. Thank you Brenda
The visuals are etched in my mind.
Thank you! You are welcome to make a drawing of them
Preciosas imágenes 👍34. Son momentos muy agradables en el canal.
Thank you!
Nice sharing beautiful video 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks so much for sharing wildlife with the world . As humans we all should reconnect with nature ! ☀️☀️Have a nice day and greetings from France .
Indeed. I totally agree. We gain so much with technology and our civilisation, but I think we also loose more. Just as a person born blind can only guess what sight really means we simply can't fathom what we have lost. Why does it have to be a trade off?
Thank you friends for sharing this very beautiful and very calming video of birds
Thank you for your lovely comment and support
My tongue would be hanging out too on a hot dry day like that. It's good you have the water there for the wildlife. I think the goanna can cope pretty well in the heat though.
There is a large dam only 100 metres away but these guys prefer to come to the birdbath instead. It must be the ambiance🤔
The way birds drink water is so cute👍✨
Yes they are funny to watch
Good living Magpies 😅
Such peaceful conditions 🤩
Wow , pretty dry weather ~
I enjoyed thank you 😊
Yes, thank you! It is pretty normal for this time of year. It will be a few months before the rainy season starts.
Beautiful birds. Beautifully captured.
Wish you a pleasant new week.
Best regards, Knut.
Thank you! You too!
Thanks 😃
Beautiful magpies
Thank you!
Tough weather for the birds.
Indeed. Tough weather for all of us. But we manage, and it works out fine in the long run. We put up with the bad and enjoy the good😊
I'm sure all the Birds enjoy The Water you place out from them, Especially in the heat! thank you for the excellent video
Thank you Denise!
Які гарні пташки
They have an interesting character too. Thank you for your nice comment
Wonderful and Beautiful ❤
Thank you
So cool. I've seen Magpies in Colorado and wish we had them in Missouri! So cool to have a subscriber from Australia !! Be safe and strong!!
Thank you! We appreciate that and don't feel like you have to watch our videos. It's cool, Hey just to let you know, our Magpies are a completely different species to your North American Magpies. As are our Robins and most other birds. And Australia is not really that different to the US. In many ways it is very similar to some of your southern states especially California.
@@wildhomevideos thanks for the info on your birds!! And thanks for making our day! I'll have to check out your channel on our TV. There is another couple we watch from Australia! I think their channel is called back to basics. Be safe and strong!!
What a lovely bird. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching
Hallo🙋♂️ Ist das eine Krähenart?Geben ja komische Leute ab😉 die rosa Sitiche sind ja schön👍 LGJO 🍀 😊
Nein die gehören zur Familie Antamidae nicht Corvid so wie die Krähen. Die Sittiche heissen Galahs. Vielen Dank Jo
Very smart birds
They really are. A lot of people in Australia befriend them and they become their wild pets
Wow, amazing colors.
Thank you
Excellent sharing 👌👌👌👌 such a beautiful video 👍👍👍 really amazing sharing friend 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Hello my new friend! Magpies are so beautiful! They cope well with the summer heat, wild nature is accustomed to both heat and cold. We have winter now, it's cold, birds are looking for both water and food. Wildlife sightings are so interesting! Thanks for the great video!!💙💛🔔🤝 Peace, health and kindness!!!❤❤❤And I invite you to visit!❤❤❤
Thank you! It is true they can cope but they have to be careful not to overheat. When the temperatures are above 40C in the shade if they stay too long in direct sunlight or fly a little too long they overheat and die. I have seen a young parrot literally drop in mid flight, dead. You have to understand that with those temperatures everything you touch is hot. If you pick up a rock that has been in the sun for a while it is too hot for you to hold in your hand. Thank you for your engaging comment.
So beautiful birds 🕊️🕊️
Thank you
So beautiful magpies ❤
Thank you
Beautiful as always. My favourite Australian bird so clever and adaptable. You have also reminded me to go top up the burd bath and bee waterer. Hot here too.
At least you don't have a kangaroo who comes and drinks it empty😅
Fantastic! With natutal sound. 👏👏👏 Great Canal. Congratulations 🌷👍
Thank you!
Hello new friend
Have a nice day
Thank you new friend!
beautiful video, and an interesting watch, thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Krásne video s týmito úžasnými a inteligentnými vtákmi ..
Thank you!
👍 #52 I've seen how birds struggle with heat exhaustion in Spain... as I watch this video here in the UK there is ice outside and it is below freezing, lol. I'd love some of your warm weather. Maybe the Magpie should hop into the bath. 👍◕‿◕
Too bad hot weather is not commodity😐 There would be some great bargains to be had. Get 10 degrees for the price of one😎Heck! Just take it! Free😅 Funny thing about the magpies and ravens at our place. No matter how hot it is they don't take a bath like the parrots do! We have seen them do it, but very rarely. It is water we pump up from the ponds. Frogs and crustaceans live in there and possibly their sense of smell is better than ours and they don't want to smell like a frog😏
@@wildhomevideos ... next time I see a Frog I'm going to have a good sniff of it lol.
I've seen our European Magpies bathing in deep water then shaking out their wings on low branch over pond or running water.
the magpies calling is really cool. The european magpie is calling more rough in my opinion. Very nice video. Greets Stefan
Thank you Stefan. In this video the Magpies are a bit hot and stressed so they pretty much keep quiet. They tend to sing a lot more on cooler days
Poor Magpies & other birds & animals in that heat with all those feathers and fur. Too hot. Stay by water guys. COOL a lizard he's not hot I bet He loves hot weather. 👍😅😰💦
Hahaha, yes! I never understand why the magpies don't just jump into the water when it is so hot, but they rarely do. Yes the lizards don't like the cold, that 's for sure but they don't stay in the open for too long either.
@@wildhomevideos Nice capture on lizard COOL!
Just catching up with your videos that we missed while being away! Beautiful video, with so many interesting animals and birds visiting your property. I love the magpies. Interestingly, they are different from our magpies, as they have a white back, while ours only have a white neck. We also love the image of the house at 9:16! 👍😊
Thanks guys. Another person commented on that so we did some research and yes indeed our Magpies are different to yours. There are 8 or 9 subspecies and ours is the "White-backed Magpie". Apparently they are a bit bigger than yours too. Although I have seen Magpies over east I never took a close look and we just assumed that Magpies are Magpies and the colouration differences were just due to differences between birds. Some of our Magpies have a much bigger white patch than others so we never thought much about it. Yes we love our house. It is a wonderful shelter. It has survived a few nasty storms and keeps us safe and warm when it is below 0 and comfortably cool even when we had a record heat wave of 47C a few years ago.
@@wildhomevideos That's really interesting! Every day we learn something new about the birds! Your house sounds like a great place. I can imagine it's quite the surprise sometimes when stepping outside and encountering the local wildlife.
Not really. We don't have neighbours so don't have curtains and we have lots of big windows and glass doors so we see what is happening outside all time. There is always some animal or bird out there so we are used to it. Actually, we are much more surprised if we see a car! And unless we are expecting someone it is almost a shock to hear someone knocking on our door😅@@hungrybirds_aus
@@wildhomevideos That's so intriguing. Thank you for sharing this charming glimpse into your daily life! I wondered if any animals would come to the house seeking shelter during bad weather. At our place, Lorikeets often come and sit on the window sills during heavy rain, seeking cover.
You would think they would seek shelter but no. They sit there not far away looking miserable but they never come under the verandah. Only the Willy Wagtail does sometimes. But he practically lives on our verandah and nests in the bushes right next to it. Only one magpie ever goes under the car when it is above 40 and it is the only one. It is almost like they are superstitious.@@hungrybirds_aus
Beautiful 😍
Our temperatures reach over 100° Fahrenheit in the summer. I expect ya'll get as hot.
Thank you
Yeh! Every summer. Our record was above 47C some years back. That's 116 - 117 F. That's in the shade of course. And we get frosts in Winter😅
How beautiful!
Thank you
Awesome birds 👍👍
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your video! Where I live, the temp is about to be below zero for a few days (by the coastal line of the Gulf of Mexico where the Winter is chilly but never cold) and I'm worried about the wild birds and animals as they're not accustomed to such severe cold weather (while they know to survive the extreme heat like your current climate there). Your bird bath is essential for those Magpies and other birds to survive the extreme heat there, and thank you for providing them plenty of clean cold water! 😀
I don't think you need to worry. We often have temperatures below 0C in winter. We have recorded our rainfall and temperatures on our property for more than 20 years and the lowest was minus 7C and the highest so far was 47C. We find that the birds and animals seem to handle the cold much better than the heat. But then at our place normally when we have cold temperatures it is at night and the sky is clear so by 9:00 AM in the morning it is quite warm, and they tend to move around at night and sleep during the day. I would imagine it would be similar where you are. Thank you for your concern and lovely comment.
@@wildhomevideos your analysis sounds right and thank you for easing my worries for wildlife. They surely do amaze me with their usual appearance and happy chirping sounds every time we come out of below zero temp as if nothing happened. They're incredible creatures for sure! 🦌🐦🐿
Abolutely great 👍
Thank you Bernd!
Wonderful video ! Very expressive magpies who need all the water they can get ! Thank you.
There is a lot of water in our ponds which are close, but they prefer to come to the birdbath and just sit in the shade.
I have subcribe your channel cause many education and information about australia bird
Thank you very much!
they are pretty , stay cool
Thank you. These birds have an interesting character and are great singers.
I always make sure to support fellow TH-camrs by leaving comments and visiting their channels regularly.
Let's keep the community thriving!

This bird is famous in Australia, I think it is quite unafraid of humans and from its sturdy beak it looks like it can eat meat or hard seeds
The beak is also good for digging out insects, but these magpies will eat meat although their diet is mostly insects. This bird was voted to be the most liked bird by Australians even though Australian Magpies sometimes swoop people and even cause injuries. Some people are actually terrified by them, but mostly people love these birds.
One surprising thing is that they do not seem to bath on a hot day.
I never actually thought of that because we rarely see them taking a bath, but you might be on to something there. We also noticed that on the rare occasion when we see one taking a bath it is the females. I don't believe we have ever seen a male taking a bath on our place. We have seen videos of male magpies taking a bath in the eastern states but our magpies are a different subspecies so maybe that has something to do with it too. Thanks for your great comment.
Much grander to look at than our UK magpies! Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul :) #moderndaybreakfastclub
Thank you Paul
Not shy, are they ?
No they are not. Magpies are pretty big birds and when they congregate around the birdbath most other birds wait for them to go away. Of course there are always some cheeky ones😅 Thank you for your comment
