Just feed them once a week with dog biscuits or meal worms - not too much though (and no mincemeat or bread)

Kids used to get swooped on the way to the school bus. We started feeding them. Now kids in front of them get swooped, kids behind them get swooped, my kids are "the untouchables"... 🤣🤣 Magpies recognise people (like crows do)...

If you can set up a routine, they'll even sing for you. Ours will sit on the mailbox and sing in the mornings or evenings. They even bring their babies along once they hatch.

They can get ballsy - one year they started tapping on the glass of my back door when they were hungry. I gently shooed them away and only fed them out the front in the evenings. They got with the program super quick...

Welcome to the party pal!
