My Baby Magpie- A Happy Story

I have befriended a baby Magpie that lost its mother and would have died of starvation! It has gone from looking like a little grey penguin ( when it's tail was not so long) to this. It comes to my back door twice a day and squarks for some mince. The Daddy magpie has taught it how to look for food, which it is now doing. We just have to get it flying now and it will be great!

The mother bird, which I called "Broken Beak" (her beak had been half broken off) was really tame and gentle and had raised several clutches of chicks nearby. So when she died I just had to help the father bird raise his and Broken beaks sole chick.
