Notts County were and still are the original footballing Magpies, as the oldest professional football club in the world.

They were originally known as the Lambs but a change to their famous and often copied black and white stripes in 1890 saw a change in nickname, Newcastle united adopted the black and white around 5years later along with the nickname, after seeing Notts county win the FA Cup in 1894.

they dont like bright colours ormaking eye contact

they do like shiny objects

We have been watching two magpies feed what looks like some kind of hawk or eagle,it is really intreging to watch,but I am trying to find out if this is normal,we live in the Blue Mountains of N.S.W

We have cat's so we let the magpie's 'steal' the food from the dish on a regular basis, and we talk to them. Never chase them, never bang a window or yell or wave your arms. Give them names too, and try to recognize when their feeding babies and can't stay to 'chat' with you. Because they'll sit and call back to you once you get a friendly relationship going.

Because sometimes they are naughty.

They eat by there mother chewing it up and then coughing it up and feed it to them all mushy . So if you were to raise one use a fork to mash fruit up . When u want to hand feed it be careful !!!

they grow up to 90 cm long and 20cm with

Like most birds, a Magpie's skeletal bones are hollow. So, no.

Magpies tend to remain in the same areas, with little movement seasonally. Those that live at higher elevations may move up- or downslope, or into adjacent areas where food is more plentiful during the winter. They do not migrate in the sense of whole populations traveling long distances.

from Tom De Vos

you can also feed it dog food ( the meat) or the pellet kinda things you can buy. soak the dog food in water to start off with. after about a week of that soak it in egg. its really good for them. also feed them the egg shell cause its good for them.

Absolutely. Magpies really like to eat cheese. I am not sure what kind of dietary effect feeding cheese to magpies might have, but to answer your question in short; yes, magpies do in-fact eat cheese.

Usually only breed, incubate and hatch once a year. However they can breed twice in one year for a number of reasons.

Plenty of food will be one reason they nest twice in the one year.

If their nest is destroyed or babies are killed - this may cause the birds to nest again.

My mother magpie who is four years old (I've had her since she was eight weeks old) nested for the first time last year. She had two girls and a boy. All successfully raised and evicted (sadly!)

This year she has had two babies and handed them over to daddy magpie. She then nested again and is currently feeding her new young. She has nothing to do with the first two babies, they are daddy magpies responsibility!

Last year I co raised her young with the mummy magpie (daddy was in the background). So this year he has two babies, mummy yet to bring her new babies to me, who are only approx 14 days old so a couple of weeks we will see what unfolds!

in april or may

All birds have ears, called the pinna and like humans they also have 3 chambers within the ear. They have a small tube leading directly to the ear drum or tympanum, so this makes their hearing a little different to ours.

its black and white with a feathers, the magpie has a bick at the front of its head

Black-billed magpies live basically in the Great Plains of the United States. They are related to crows and jays.

This should help you.

No. I have seen them there in the winter months.

The currawong is a black bird, similar in appearance to the crow, but related to the Australian magpie and butcherbird.
