I have a family of magpies visit nearly everyday. I think it must have started because previous renters were probably feeding them. The mum showed up first, and then a adult male, and then two babies. Very quickly, the babies would show up on their own. One of them even taps on the window and flies up by the door lock to try to come in if it sees me. I don't let them in - it'd be a nightmare of chaos, feathers, and terror poops.
I give them some sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and on occasion, walnuts, cashews, and some plain cooked chicken breast if I have any. They're comfortable enough with me to eat out of my hand, and discipline their kids in front of me ๐
Also, I'm now learning their preferences. The older baby bird really likes cashews and will give me the stink eye if I offer anything else. The other day, I offered a sunflower seed, and it came around to give me a nip (gentle) on the finger as if to tell me it wanted something tastier.
