While it is not technically illegal to feed native birds
in Australia, and you are unlikely to be issued
with a hefty fine, wildlife experts strongly
discourage bird feeding.
However, who could resist feeding
this Magpie family?
Especially if they come right up to
the backdoor…
What’s this? says baby Pie
Watch me,
says Mother Pie…
…before making a snatch and grab
at the piece of bread nearest
the door…
…then scurrying out of sight,
leaving her youngster in her wake…
…only slowing down to eat her ill-gotten gains
when at a safe distance from the door…
…apparently not noticing the nearby
bread guardian…
Taji makes a dash for the bread and in so doing
hunts away our feathered friends to
the cheers of all wildlife experts.

What a fun post, Don, with such great shots! We used to have a huge flock of magpies in northern California. They’ll do anything for food! The pingbacks are working again, you dodged a bullet there by not adding it to the comments, LOL! Talk about linking under the wire!
