Do you remember Maggie, Maggie and Maggie

those cheeky magpies that ate our treats?

Well....they arrive several times a day to be fed.
They were getting the cheap round treats
and SHE tried our long, delicious jerky treats.
Those birds just stuck their beaks in the air
and acted like they were going to be poisoned.

When Bella had to take antibiotics, it was easier to put them in a ball of mince (ground beef), but SHE gave some to those
magpies.
They loved it!
Now they race over if SHE goes outside.
And sometimes, they come up to our little verandah

 And peer into our house looking for HER!

 They are such gluttons!
Please excuse the barren lawn.  Today is the first day of rain since early August.
We did get in an early walk before it started, but we've been sleeping most of the day.
We've still had three very wet, bedraggled magpies dropping by, though.

  10. Birds can be so persistent. We feed the woodpeckers and when the feeder gets empty they start tapping on the window.

  14. You have different magpies than we do. I've never tried giving ours treats. It seems kind of fun but I do understand why you don't want her giving them your treats!

  15. If those magpies were around here, we would be chasing them all the time. We don't think we would like to share our treats, especially jerky!!! But SHE is good to be kind to the birds.

  17. I just hope Maggie, Maggie, and Maggie don't have any more friends - Sometimes they do...And I'll bet their names are Maggie too! :-)

  19. Do they sing or just beg for handouts? I don't think we have magpies here.

  20. What naughty birds!! I get a bit scared of magpies because sometimes they glare at me when I walk under their nests, and mum tells me they can swoop...
    You are very brave to get so close to them!
    Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
