Moses our pet Magpie

This is Moses at 9 months old. R.I.P MOSES- He died 3rd of July, 2010. He was nearly 4 years old. He stopped eating for a week and would stand all day and not move. He went blind in one eye a few months ago. I guess his mother kicked him out as a baby because she knew he was not going to make it. He lived nearly 4 happy, amazing years. He was such a great animal, and a family member. We love you so much Moses and miss you more than anything. Rest in peace baby, you are in a better place. xxxx

@Vei2aC Hi thank you very much for the lovely comment I am glad you enjoyed the video

I am so sorry to hear you lost Moses. We have two magpies that found their own way to us. They are now 5 & 7 months. Of course we took care of them & gave them what they needed in order to survive. They are now family members who give us much happiness. I am tired of all the misconceptions about Magpies. They are generally based on little evidence & lack of understanding. Mildew & Squawktina have even taught a few people we know that magpies are really not so bad.

@MissSamanthaaudrey Hi and thank you for your comment. I agree completely with you, everybody seems to be so scared of them, when truly they are one of the most beautiful birds one could have. You are so lucky to have two of them, they must be older now seeing you left this comment six months ago. I hope they are doing well and it is very very wonderful of you to be giving them such a great life!! You are blessed to have them in your life.

I had a Magpie we rescued. It had fell from it's nest on to the ground it was so young. We raised it till it was a good few months old and it was so friendly! I moved away not long after so I don't know what happened to the poor thing but we rescued loads of birds. Pigeons... Crowns.... Even Sparrows but the little magpie was the sweetest! :D I bet you can guess what we named it! ... How do you distinguish a male Magpie from a Female? x

You're so lucky to have had him in your life.  He's so cool.

I'm glad you could give him such a happy home. You obviously put a lot of time into making sure he was fed right and well loved.

What about the one dislike? Don't worry, it was Moses, always get angry if he got on tape!

[SirKendalMintcake]

He is soooooo black! I've never seen a mag with as much black on his back as this bloke. He's a real character!
