Injured Magpie

[waruikazi]

Contact a wildlife rescue org and ask for their help they should be able to give you the contact of a bird person.

I would also encourage you to become a carer, you obviously have the good intentions and enthusiasm.

This is the website for the SA Fauna Rescue http://www.faunarescue.org.au/

should give you some good tips and all the info you need to become a carer. Just do it, then you can look after these animals without breaking the law.

Call the animal welfare league.... they will give you a number of one of the bird carers from fauna rescue for you to ring direct....

even if you dont want to give it to a carer, call the carer anyway, they are always happy to offer you some advice!

Thanks everyone for your imput. I have raised magies before (in my youger years) just couldn't really remember what to feed them exactly.

I gave it some dog food, egg, parsley, wombaroo, calcium, baby food etc etc and it ate it with gusto! But I will try and find someone in my area to give it to to get the proper care (I would've done that anyway ). I'm wary about bringing it to the RSPCA, as they wont even accept stray dogs, unless they are from a council dog catcher.

I'll let you know how I go anyway

my stepmom is president of the friends of native wildlife group, she took care of a baby magpie since before it had full feathers and was just a little chick, start it out on womberoo magpie mix with thinly cut slices of beef heart. beef heart is lean and high in protien and the womberoo gives the needed nutrients. and before anyone jumps on the raw meat thing, she did alot of research and talked to alot of specialists and they suggested beef heart so blah on ya!

sadly when it got old enough it learned to fly a little bit and just enough so he could fly over a few fences and never be seen again as it didnt kno how to get back

Way to go most vets RSPCA etc will put them down as cost is too high to save something not endangered. Just keep feeding and to give water tooth brush works well
