Feed me Mum
Uploaded: January 07, 2009
This baby magpie (the lighter coloured one) calls for it's mother to feed it all the time. Then it sneaks back by itself & knocks at the front door for me to put some food out, that it picks up & eats with no help. The little take. Lens aperture F/32., shutter speed 1/315sec, focal length 28mm, taken in my drive-way today.

I am always entertained by the antics of the magpie family, Chris! We have one that has been visiting us for years, and brings back its new family each spring! #6996695Tammy Espino January 07, 2009
what a little piggy that baby is. I like when baby birds get bigger than the mom and still want feed! What a great capture! #6997776Theresa Marie Jones January 07, 2009
