They look nothing like our magpies.

We have a bird called a black faced cuckoo shrike, your Canadian Magpie looks like one them only prettier in colour/s.

They seem to be similar in size and the shape of their heads.

caskur

Yes, I thought the beaks were a similar size... our magpies have rather big beaks...



But we also have a bird called, "magpie lark" or "Pee wee," or "Mud Larks"... same bird differently named in different parts of our country.

What I really like is Australia's lovely parrot family birds..



Sulphur crested cockatiels cost a small fortune from breeders in Canada.

Just get  some Rainbow Lorikeets... I have trees to attract native birds... that's the secret.

I got lightning last night. (Storm group go there)



On the my tree group, there is a new member... she's concerning herself with an environmental travesty. They want to removed over 8,000 trees on crown land (sides of the road)... get this... to make way for trucks carrying the windfarm to its location... OMG...I'm completely outraged.





Trees attract rain... farmers take all the trees out and then whinge and phucking moan when a drought comes along. Go to my tree group and see the short vid on the trees they want to take out... 53 have gone already.

I love pictures of Australian parrot type birds..



To me, it's like someone opened all the cages and doors at every pet store and said fly.

caskur

cage birds should be allowed to fly around the house too.



They like their cages but they also LOVE to fly around your house as well.

Birds do not belong in cages, period.



It should be treated the same way we treat docking dogs tails. Illegal.

Their cage is their bedroom... omg, I had a pair of budgies tame that bred in my house...they were so tame, they knew their separate names.... I had a stick, I'd call them and they'd fly to it.





I do not believe in clipping wings either.....





There isn't anything wrong with a cage provided at least some of the day they're out of it.





My birds were so tame, I could walk outside with them on my shoulder and they wouldn't fly off.





I was the bird lady in the neighbourhood...





I much prefer just providing two bird baths... one at the front and one at the back now and just keeping a couple of chickens. I have up to 30 species hanging around... I have trees... and water.... what move could they want?





Here is the Magpie Larks/Mudlarks/Pee Wees Fash...

Or you can put fruit out too... I have a dozen grapevines I share with all the honey eaters...silver eyes, ravens, and rainbow lorikeets.
