There are two types birds in the garden that I managed to get photos of. Above are two magpies. Magpies used to swoop on the chickens at my old house. These ones seem more tame and they follow behind me when gardening so that they can dig out the worms that I've uncovered. They seem a bit more submissive.. which is a relief! In the past, magpies have swooped and pecked my head - once so hard that I thought I'd been cut open!
I like the Myna birds but this is not a good photo unfortunately. Below is a better picture that I found on the internet.
I've caught them inside the chicken coop a few times, sampling the chickens' food. They've stopped doing that lately. Because they are small, I find them quite adorable and they are forgiven for stealing food.
