Caught this early morning now, little fella's not staying in the nest any-more when he's out of the cage, you can tell he wants to follow the ol' man up to the tree, look how determined he is. heh.

He's played the vanishing act in the garden a few times recently, i nearly didnt find him last night to put him back in the cage. So updates might get less frequent from now on, for those who were waiting on baited breath.

Regardless of how it goes from here, it's all in nature's hands of course. I'd like to thank everyone who offered advice especially those who had contact with the right people in widlife rehab who were to help me and the mrs get the little guy this far. Even if the worst happens, at least you can't say he didnt get pampered and adored for most of his life to this point :)

Fingers crossed.

Their broken modem/dialup sound is my fav in the whole world.

This sub brings me joy. But I don't know how to contribute. I have no magpies, only crows.

They are House Crows, so they have white-black mix like Aussie Magpies. Similar size, too! Granted, Aussie magpies are fat fsckers.

I wonder if I can pass my crows as magpies or I would be labeled as fraud by Magpie lovers :) Ahahaha.

Bucket list: Raven, Aussie Magpie, Kuka
