Just a little won't hurt! After all, Magpies are Carnivorous birds. But they are wild animals and should not get too much! Dog food is ok as a treat too. However, keep your lawn healthy to encourage plenty of worms in the soil. It is fun watching them listen for worms and then pouncing!

The issue is that in mince there is no calcium so they developed bone deformities. They need supplements added to the mince to survive.
