We see lots of baby magpies this time of the year brought into the clinic by concerned well intentioned people. Many are thought to injured or abandoned. This is usually not the case and they should be left alone (if not on the road or in danger) as the parents are not far away.

⚠️ Fledgling Magpie Season ⚠️ High res image - http://www.magpieaholic.com/found-a-baby-magpie/

If you see me on the ground, hold tight, my parents are likely to be somewhere ’round!
They may be out collecting my food, or chasing off predators that are likely to intrude!
Please give them time, and wait to see, they are extremely likely to return to me.

As I wobble and clumsily flutter down to the ground. I’m just learning my bearings of how to get ’round!
An exciting new world for me to see. Out of the nest and free as can be!
Although I may not yet be able to fly, please don’t worry as I’m bound to get by.
I can usually flutter and jump to higher ground. I can also communicate with my parents by emitting a sound.

If you see me in immediate danger, please help and don’t be a stranger!
If I’m injured, I need your assistance. Call your local animal rescue shelter to help secure my existence!

Please don’t be tempted to take us home, and try to raise us on your own.
We require experienced care, and a nutritious diet like our parents would prepare.
We know you mean well, and truly thank you for caring.
But when it comes to raising us, even our parents find it overbearing!

If I’m too young and unable to be returned to my nest, (refer to flowchart) here’s something you can try to ensure I progress.
Constructing a makeshift nest is easy as can be.
Octopus straps, a hanging basket, leaf litter, then securely hang it up in a tree!
Make sure to wait until my parents return.
If you observe them tending to me, then there is no reason for further concern!

If you’re ever in doubt, do not fuss.
Ring your local wildlife shelter, and they’ll be able to help us!

This bull managed to get his head caught in a hay feeder and the only safe way to remove it was to sedate him with a dart gun! He was happy to have it removed! #regrets #mainsvc

Happy 60th Kaz!! It’s also Karen’s 25th year at the clinic!! She has certainly brought her share of fun and happiness to work. #filevisionofkaren #mainsvc #happybirthday
