| Please see the response from Wildcare re: young Magpie.
The end result of raising orphaned/ ‘ rescued “ magpies once released is mostly unknown by those who raise them .
We would all love to know how they cope or indeed if they cope. I for one would like to see a pilot program that allows us to tag these birds ( for perhaps two years ) if only to know if they survive or not.
Thanks Denise Begin forwarded message:

Hi Denise,
Yes that is a Wildcare juvenile magpie released in Carwoola in November, so good to hear it is doing well. I actually got a phone call this afternoon from another person in Carwoola letting me know it has been sighted as well.
The magpie has a slight disability (falls over occasionally), but is otherwise OK. It still visits the Wildcare member who raised it (also in Carwoola), but is now hanging out with a bachelor group in the area. I'm not surprised it is following Wayne's son around as the Wildcare member has 2 boys who helped with raising it.
We haven't banded all of our juvenile magpies, but started doing some of them so we could track their progress. Any further reports on banded magpies would be much appreciated and they can send them to me at m("wildcare.com.au","birds");" class="">
Cheers,
Maryanne

I hope all is well with you…. I thought you might like to see this note that came through on the COGs chatline . I don’t know if you tag yours

A neighbour has sent me the following message. Does anyone know of someone in the Carwoola area who is studying Magpies and may have colour banded this chap? I'd have expected several colours to be applied rather than just a yellow one.

Hi Martin,
Just this minute we've interactive with and taken photos of a young magpie that is tagged.
Do you know why it would be tagged and would it belong to someone?
My son just patted it now after feeding it. It is following us around.
