hi all,
Thursday afternoon i found a young magpie dangerously close to the road the other day. poor thing was very wet and shivering. i couldnt see any nest it may've came from and there were no other magpies around. so i put it in my little hot box in the car ( a cupboard i built in the car with no insulation from engine bay and gets nice and warm) when i picked him up he didn't care, when i got him out of the cupboard in the car he was a lot more lively and dry. i made a rough holding cage out of a very big cardboard box and some avairy wire. most of yesterday he refused food, and wouldn't eat on his own, untill late afternoon noon he finally took fod from me, i was sooo happy. hes quite happy now walking around my back room and always talking to me. i think i now have a friend. i haven't introduced him to my bourkes yet, but i won't be putting them in the same cage.
does anyone know if you need a license in south australia to keep a magpie as a pet???
