I’m getting shouted at by Pushy. I grab a couple of bowls, walk out and place them at the grass. Pushy Mouse and Hunter descend. As I pull away Hunter (the youngest Magpie) pulls away. When I pull back Hunter hops back in.

The front magpie clan has a youngster who taps on the window when hungry then waits. I dub thee, TAPPER.

Twiggy, the smallest magpie.

Has food? No?… I’ll find my own. Twiggy is approaching two and Flash, Pushy snd Mouse fight with the youngest as they approach nesting/hatchling season. Soon the youngest will be chased out of the territory for good.

Twiggy hanging around on the ground. Lots of warbling in the area. Got a surprise mealy feed.

When winter comes, Twiggy will be chased out of the territory and will have to find their own way.

Look out, some Corellas are muscling in on the watering hole. Twiggy, the youngest Magpie doesn’t like it and is not sure what to do?

The Corellas watch Flash taking a bath, loose interest and go feast on the Olive tree.
