Our previous magpie family which owned our garden area was kicked out by the present group about 6 years ago. It consists of one male and two females. Recently it was joined by a female helper. About 2 weeks ago one adult male came to our
garden and I thought it was one of their offspring. In our place we feed magpies on demand. When I threw food at him he did not know what to do, while food was hitting him, so I thought he cannot be the offspring. Some rogue magpie? But he came with other
members of the group and he quickly learned to catch food in 2-3 days. Do magpies recruit new adult members? In my opinion, the current male magpie is very inferior to the previous one. He was a caring father, while this one rarely feeds fledglings and
bossy.
Any opinions?
