I regularly encounter three magpie families: one that drinks out of a bowl at my house on hot days, one at cricket, and one family at my school. Through my own (pretty basic, I'm not the greatest birder) observations, I've noticed that each different magpie's song is ever so slightly different. Has anyone else noticed this same kind of thing?
Since it's the time of the year when new born chicks start to arise I think it's important to outline and reiterate that mince is extremely bad for them as it does not adequately meet their nutritional need.
If, however, you feel there is no alternative way to transition them away from this habit, I recommend combining the mince with Wombaroo at a 1:3 ratio, along with a small dose of a calcium supplement.
This wombaroo mix can easily be purchased online from stores such as amazon or at your local pet store, it even has a handsome magpie on the front page.
She's an elderly Star 🌟 She is so polite and friendly...I love her so much 🧡

He was learning how to sing!!
Note: you'll see him on my post history in this subreddit, he's not "my" magpie, just knows me. He was abandoned by parents somehow on a family members rural property, they're qualified to rear abandoned wildlife and reared him on wombaroo, mealworms and grubs from the garden.
Nowadays he's part of a wild travelling flock and doesnt really return. Bittersweet but its about whats good for the animals quality of life in the end
