Check out some of the pics up the top ?
They are up to their 4th generation.
Our place in tassie covers three acres most of it wrapped around the house and we love watching the fun and games the magpies get up to.
The Australian Magpie is black and white, but the plumage pattern varies across its range. Currawong species have predominantly dark plumage and heavier bills. The second Nestling however was not so fortunate. The Australian magpie's affinities with butcherbirds and currawongs were recognised early on and the three genera were placed in the family Cracticidae in 1914 by John Albert Leach after he had studied their musculature. It's only the two of them, and they come every afternoon for dinner. Ive refrained from posting on here for fear of 'jinxing' them lol.. last time i posted the 2nd baby was hit... Um Agvulpes ? Yay Go Tigers :).
Anyway, I have caught up on everyone stories and they are fantastic.
Do they roost in specially dense trees on very windy nights?
Nice to see you back and look forward to more of your Magpie / bird tales :), Well, Finally a new house and internet, which took a lifetime of convincing Telstra. [103] Being unexpectedly swooped while cycling can result in loss of control of the bicycle, which may cause injury or even fatal accidents. Magpie swooping season occurs each year across the country in September and October, during Australia's springtime. OldBeakie thanks again for sharing and please let us know of any developments in your Magpie Story : I'm new to hub pages, I really loved your magpie article and I was wondering if you could help me. They have a long breeding season which varies in different parts of the country; in northern parts of Australia, they will breed between June and September, but not commence until August or September in cooler regions, and may continue until January in some alpine areas. The Australian Magpie is omnivorous, eating various items located at or near ground level including invertebrates such as earthworms, millipedes, snails, spiders and scorpions as well as a wide variety of insects—cockroaches, ants, beetles, moths and caterpillars and other larvae. New Miss, named Possy, swoops on the 2 kiddies riding their new bikes on our footpath and it is not any where near breeding season. To stay safe during swooping season, cyclists are advised get off their bike during an attack, and to keep calm instead of flailing -- which may come across as aggressive behavior and provoke the birds further. [28] The original form, known as the black-backed magpie and classified as Gymnorhina tibicen, has been split into four black-backed races: The white-backed magpie, originally described as Gymnorhina hypoleuca by John Gould in 1837, has also been split into races: The adult magpie ranges from 37 to 43 cm (14.5 to 17 in) in length with a 65–85 cm (25.5–33.5 in) wingspan, and weighing 220–350 g (7.8–12.3 oz). I feed them mince meat & other bits & pieces but their favourite is grated cheese. Now hops straight up on to my knee and feeds from my hand. We have been feeding a family of Maggies for about a year now. Some articles have Vimeo videos embedded in them. Their eyes are fully open at around 10 days.
However the 3 main adult magpies have always missed the cars, we call them mum, dad and beakie ( beakie is the granddad, he has grey feathers around the tops of his legs and has a limp when walking and has a cracked beak. The Australian magpie has been widely implicated in the predation of native birds and their nests, but much evidence is anecdotal.
I'm sure it will not be long before the 'nest building' starts and the sound of baby Magpies will be heard before Christmas :), Cheers and lots of happy times with your new family of Magpies :), Hello, just wanted to give an update...........it looks like dad magpie has returned with another female mate, the sad side is that I haven't seen old beakie since dad's return. There's a first time for everything.
Hi Dianne and thanks for the great observation and share !
Lets hope it is the later and I'm sure my readers and myself would love it if you would keep us up to date ?
In my area these birds are enemies as the Crows/Ravens steal from the nests of all other birds,eggs and new born chicks. @missmypinetree... wow that wind sure was something wasn't it ? I'm absolutly a magpie nut - but I barrak for the dees!
The young female has been missing joining the others for breakfast for the past 3 days and I was wondering if they have forced her to move to another flock as she is now an adult and if she stayed and was to breed it would further weaken the gene pool?
