Raising a fledgling magpie

'Maggie' fell out of the nest a few weeks ago so she is being hand reared given we couldn't find the nest to return her to. She is being fed special insectivore rearing mix, we are trying to get her out in the area she was lost as much as possible so the parents still come looking for her, and she has started her flying lessons. All going well we hope to get her back into the wild in the next few weeks. In the interim it's 'child rearing' of the bird variety!
