Saving a baby Magpie

This is the story of a little baby magpie that we found in a back alley in June of 2018 with dead crows and magpie chicks all around.
We just couldn't leave him in the alley to end up like the other birds so we brought the little chick home to care for.
Please click the link below to see the baby crow that we rescued from this same horrible alley.

That back alley look just like the type of place where unsupervised adolescents or dimwits can cause trouble and destruction to those unprotected birds and their young. I am so glad there are people like you who rescue and respect such amazing birds.

[@abaddonnnnn]

I didn't know Magpies could mimic voices and sounds like that!

[@chv72]

We didn't either! :-)

[@ycylavender1339]

honestly crows, ravens, and magpies are part of the same family so they are vary smart compaired to most other birds and are vary likely to try to mimic or maybe even talk to people with the words they have learned

[@nefetirisiannephele5725]

Your birds are so Fortunate to have been found by you guys! They are so well-loved and cared for!

[@chv72]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@LilacJuvia]

[@benwinkel]

I had to laugh when Pie tried to scratch his head and fell over. I have never seen any bird do that. So funny! Pie is a very special bird and a lovely member of your family!

[@chv72]

Haha! Yes, that was funny! Thanks for watching, Ben!

[@bror8228]

Once I was lucky to see a black headed gull to scratch his (her) head when he (or she ) was flying.. looked quite funny...

[@karenwatkins655]

Pie, a little boy! What an amazing bird! “Come here, Peach! Come here, Peach! Peach!” And to think he would have died in that back alley were it not for Kullike! It seems that this human race is divided into horrible people and wonderful people. The two of you did great work in nursing Pie, feeding him, and helping him become a beautiful healthy magpie! Thank you for what you do to bend the curve towards peace and kindness.

I adore Little Pie ~ he's so playful, intelligent, and full of life. Thank you so much for rescuing this precious bird, he's clearly very happy, and loves his adoptive family very much. He's such a beautiful little guy, and it infuriates me that anyone would hurt these sweet little characters.

[@foreverealm]

This is very dear. Pie came from tragedy. But how he responded so easily and trusted you. He hoped you would help him. And you always did. He is so pretty and smart and enjoying the life that you give him. Thank you for sharing your world. It is embued with love and kindness. G-d bless you all.

[@angelas9799]

Pie is God's gift to you for being the good hearted people you are.Magpie chicks remind me of the baby robins we would find fallen from a nest some springs, I loved them, they were the strongest and fistiest, yo knew they could like if they had a chance where other baby birds were too fragile. We rescued a few that flew away or stayed in our yard but never like this. I cannot even get my cat to behave and stay close to me outdoors so well.

[@JG-iz8ko]

Somewhere up that alley some little bastards got an air gun😒 God bless you for saving him. The closer we are to nature the better it is for us all.

I am more than just glad that you are rescuing these sweet sweet birds..Since I moved from Northern California to Maryland/DC area...I jhave really really fallen in love with all of the birdies here...and I also know that I will end up loving the birdies in Arizona where my hubby and I may live for awhile as well as well as many other places too! I loved feeding my feathered friends..we had Finches ,Doves ,Blue Jays Mocking Birds, Red Cardinals (male and female), Sparrows(Mom and dad), Starlings and Crows! I loved all of them so much! We also had a bunch of squirrels! I loved all of my feathery babies! LOL!

wow , loving the whole family dynamics ... my neighbors think that I am somewhat crazy because of being able to and wanting to make pals with three wild magpies . The three of them started coming around when ever I went outside , and I do mean landing within a 5 foot area of me calling to them . I do admit to feeding them , and they respond to my calling them , plus my bonus is that they now speak to me in their differing tonalities , which is absolutely amazing to me . They have just started to come to my in house office window and call me to go outside and feed them , but it must be much more than that , because they always seem to be around when ever I work outside in the yard , and have begun communicating much more than usual , even when it is not feeding time for them . The crow family is amazing to me as to their intelligence ... thanks for the posting , T...

[@ethanblue2110]

I am so so thankful you save his life

[@johnanderson3022]

We had a similar story in the 90's in Norway. He was quite a character. It took a very long time to nurse him back to health. After that he just decided to move in for good. He went and came as he pleased. During the days, his favorite thing to do was to ambush and harass the post woman who was terrified by him. He crashed every picknick he came over at the local beach, we lived on a farm 500m away and often heared screaming when this crazy Magpie walked all over the food he could find among all the strangers. In the evenings when he was tired, he knocked on the window to come inside to sleep. One very hot and dry summer someone was smoking a cigarette in the kitchen, The Magpie snatched it and went flying out the window over the barn. We expected the worst, but after 10 min he returned with the cigarette still burning in his beak. It would have been complicated to explain the insurance company the situation if he had accidentally burned down the whole thing. The stories go on and on, too many funny moments to mention here. He was a cool dude and lived a full and happy, although a somewhat unconventional Magpie life.

[@chv72]

Wow that would be something to see. I hope the magpie gave up smoking. hahaha

[@crescent_foxx1014]

Just yesterday I found a baby magpie (around the same age as the one you saved) in our backyard, my dog had tried getting at it but we shooed the little guy through a hole on the other side of the fence. It's parents are still around and taking care of it and I have been keeping an eye on him.

[@chv72]

That is very good that you are keeping an eye on the bird and helped it out. It's best to just watch and observe if a parent is around and not interfere.

[@racheallange2056]

About 2 years ago we saved a young woodpecker here in Bavaria .( He was somehow caught up in a fence and he was weak ).We called wildlife but they said they had too many birds and could not take him..So for about 2 weeks it was up to us to care for this little sweetheart ..I loved caring for him..I cried my eyes out the day he flew away,both happy to see him free,but yet I loved him...I know it was better for him ..( He liked to bite lol...but to me that was a good thing ..ok for him not so much for our fingers...) We named him Woody after the Woody Woodpecker cartoon...Tell the truth I was worried at first he was so weak,but when he started eating I knew he would be ok...

You both are such a inspiration to me and a blessing to these magnificent creatures ✌

Awesome video , my cockatiel was going crazy to little Pie's cute calls and chatting ''come here'' wow incredible. I was told by someone once in the day's of Adam & Eve in the garden of Eden all the birds could talk, beautiful story I like to think it is true. I found a baby Jack Daw last year, luckily the parents appeared after a few hours and were dive bombing me because I was holding their jack daw, I removed it out of the reach from a huge ginger cat who had it's an eye on it for lunch. Luckily the baby Jack Daw's family took watch over it till it learned to fly, amazing watching the adults fly down to feed the baby. It is a fully grown huge adult now and the family all live in the chimneys above my house. New Chicks soon, Spring time is here in the UK!

Back in the mid 90s I split an apartment with a coworker and he found a pigeon dying by the sewer. He had a copper band on his leg so someone owned him. We nursed him back to health and he didn't want to leave. I didn't care I wanted to keep him. The roommate took him everywhere, but he always came home sitting on the back porch. Eventually he did leave and I always wondered what happened to him. I hoped he found his original owner. Great job taking care of those birds.

[@ericbitzer5247]

@@chv72 Somebody told me the band on his leg with the number meant he was a racer. I don't know about that, but it might explain why he was exhausted in the street by the sewer in bad shape. I was surprised how quickly he recovered and was able to fly. I think he liked us and didn't want to go home to his original owner. He used to sit on my shoulder as I walked around the neighborhood. I haven't thought about the little guy in quite a few years, brings back memories.
