I’ve been occasionally stepping out the front door for a second to throw a few high quality cat food kibbles to the maggies, just letting them see my face to learn I’m not a threat and tell their mates not to swoop.
Yesterday one came walking right up to my screen door wanting to come in! He or she was genuinely curious and hung around peeping in for a couple of minutes.
I explained that they couldn’t come in because there was a kitty living in here, so they stuck around a little longer and eventually wandered off.
We have crows in Melbourne, but the most common is actually the Little Raven. I think it's so cool that we have ravens tbh, the little Poe fan in me squeals haha.
They're all very intelligent, magpies, crows, and ravens; so if you do give them treats, theyll actually remember your face and tell their mates. So smart 😍🐦⬛
I'm jealous, I wanted wanted to befriend the local magpie but it's never really taken an interest in me, at least it's not swooping me in my front yard though.
