Imping The Magpie

denTonight I was asked to help stick flight feathers onto another bird. It's a young magpie someone wanted to keep as a pet, so they clipped its wings. Then they let it go. Whee!
We'll use araldite and toothpicks this time. It'll be a lot easier than imping the eagles. And this bird won't try to rip off my face. Actually, it will try because it'll be really pissed off, but it's a lot smaller than an eagle and I'm not shit-scared of magpies.

Date: 3 Jan 2003 22:05 (UTC)I used to have crows and flying squirrels as pets growing up. Never once did we snip a single feather or harm a single hair on a cuuute furry little head.
Crows are phenominally cool birds to have as pets, they are great strong flyers to watch, although they are far to enamored of shinies for thier own good - think of women's ear rings and hair barrettes and you can get an idea of just how much trouble they can get you into :)
CYa!
