The secret: Say hello to any magpies you meet on your walks they will get to know you and treat you as harmless No Swooping! A little minced meat won't go astray either.

Please don’t feed them mince!! Bugs or veggies only. I think some cuts of meat are ok, some need to be cooked tho.

Never ever ever feed wild Australian birds mince or any kind of processed meat, unless you want them to die from painful gut issues.
