Howdy All,
I've never noticed it with our local Magpies before, and not sure how
common or uncommon it is, but our Magpies have 3 babies at
present. They're all sitting in a row up high in the gumtree (they
nested across the road, so they must be flying to some degree) and
begging food from their parents. With 3 of them the parents are
going to have a fun time of it I would imagine. In the 14 years I've
been here I've only ever seen 1 or 2 chicks, never 3 of them. It
must be a very good spring this year.
Cheers.
Paul T.
