Howdy All,
Out of interest, what is the maximum number of magpie babies from a
single brood? We've had 4 babies here for the last couple of weeks,
coming from a nest in a large Eucalypt in a neighbours backyard. The
day they came out of the next they were all lined up together on a
dead branch in a nearby tree with mum and dad madly going backwards
and forward trying to feed the demanding little dears. <grin> I
don't think I've ever seen 4 successfully fledge before? I know it
has been a good year this year for the garden, and therefore the food
sources would be excellent, but I didn't even know they could have 4
at a time. I pity the poor parents, who must by now be wishing they
had practiced birth control. LOL
Cheers.
