Its not that hot here today and the real story about this young magpie is that a few weeks ago it was blown/knocked out of the tree where the nest was and has spent its life on the ground pretty much since then. Mum and Dad still come and look after it and feed it (I'm not sure if it can fly) and it is getting a reasonable size now.
Anyway today it took up a shady spot under my Japanese Maple.
The good news is that mum and dad magpie seem to like me but they still swoop the poor old postie!

Classic example of an Australian native in a Japanese pot!

They become friendly pretty quickly the old Maggie. You need to get him under an Aussie tree Watto.

Great picture Watto. Looks like a young one.

It is a young one but I still don't think I will man handle him/her/it to under an Aussie tree Bodhidharma, mum might take a dim view of that.

Cool maggie,
I used to have a family in my yard and I could hand fee the adults.
They enouraged the kids to let me feed them too

tey have not visited this season so they must have come to grief somewhere
