Fledgling Magpie - a photo on Flickriver

Fledgling Magpie

            Magpie fledglings often end up on the ground because their wings are not strong enough to flap.
This is alright if the parents are feeding it and there are no predators.
There are cats in the area so I brought it home.
When 2 weeks have passed I will take it back to where I got it from and hopefully the parents will turn up.

 The adult Australian magpie ranges from 37 to 43 cm in length, with distinctive black and white feather and gold brown eyes. With its long legs, the Australian magpie walks easily and spends a lot of time on the ground.

 •In Australian aboriginal lore, the symbolism and occult meaning of the magpie is associated to ‘motherly love’, ‘protection’, and ‘provision’.
