Attack of the Birds

We have a big bird community at our place.

Everyday we have .........

Pale-headed RosellasGalahsMagpiesNoisy Minors
(who eat all our figs and mulberries)Rainbow LorrikeetPlovers
(if there is any bird I hate, this is it)Butcher BirdsKookaburras
Bush Turkeys
and many many more, coming in to see what they can find to eat.

This morning I had a little treat to the meat eating birds. Had some steak off-cuts that I sometimes cut up small and feed to my feathered friends.

Unfortunately one of the magpies has taken to terrorizing my Cockatiel, Teddy (an adopted pet).

The maggie tries to peck at him through the cage so I covered Teddy up a bit to give him some hiding space.

What a smart magpie though, I just caught him/her trying to get the cover off the cage to get at Teddy.

(unfortunately wasn't quick enough with the camera)
