A baby magpie (australian one, the eurasian magpie is a different bird) left the nest in my gumtree before it could fly
apparently this happens rather regularly. it was in my backyard during lockdown, and the dogs were going nuts, so I shepherded it around the side of the house where it could stay in peace, and fed it mince until it was strong enough to flap. It hung around the general vicinity of the house for two years after that even though I wasn't feeding it, found a mate, until I found a flat runover magpie on the street.

i got a couple of magpies here, if i leave the windows open the cheeky sods will come inside looking for food. it's my own fault for feeding them monkey nuts.
