Close Call with a Currawong by a TwoGuineaPigs' Production

[SPLIMLETLET]

You probably know by now that that bird was not a Currawong. It is a Magpie. Either a female or a youngster. But, I love the behaviour of both animals. Especially the delightful curiousity of the Maggie. Pure Gold! Thanks for posting that.

I think they need a bigger igloo! The bird wouldn't have harmed your GuineaPigs, he's just looking for insects and grubs.

This happened with me, my baby rat Bambi and a Butcher Bird. I nearly had a heart attack.

I took Bambi inside, then gave the Butcher some raw kangaroo meat (from my cat's food). I felt kinda sorry for taking it's meal...

[twoguineapigs]

Ah.. that's a kind thought, next time i'll get Mum to get some meals for the birds so we can feed them too.

Whew! Close call!

[twoguineapigs]

And Wiggley still likes the birds to come up close... I think my younger brother still hasn't learned.

LOL no pecking the PUDGE!,that bird is saying hmm that is one HAIRY BUTT! :P

[twoguineapigs]

Or one big butt Wiggley has :)

yeah magpies wont eat your pets, but a hawk will definately swoop down and kill them. So called 'chicken hawks' often prey on peoples chickens they keep in the backyard

[twoguineapigs]

Hmm... not sure if we have 'chicken hawks' in Sydney, Australia. But we'll keep a look out!

[twoguineapigs]

Eeek! Thanks for the warning. Mum keeps watch close-by and shoosh them off. But we will be careful next time.

[twoguineapigs]

Well, Mum said it's Magpie too and we didn't believe her! Now she's going to say "I told you so". Thanks Jaddezz! Ginger xoxo

[NinasMotionPictures]

Ah, please make more videos of your guinea pigs! I'm dying to see more! xD

[twoguineapigs]

Yep, we sure will! Now that Mum lets us use her Pentax compact digital camera since she has upgraded to a DSLR.
