Met this very cute magpie in the park today.
It seems like it hurt its leg since it stood on a single foot most of the time and did some impressive maneuvers with the opposing wing for balance.
It let me get surprisingly close and even accepted some peanuts which immediately got hidden under nearby bushes 😄

this guy never skips leg day
Not to be trusted; this trickster is obviously plotting something nefarious.
yeah they do that when they think they can get sympathy snacks.
I watched a duck do this once, also. Once it became clear I had nothing on me to give him he waddled away on two feet again.
Joke’s on the magpie, I would have fed it anyway :D
god damn that’s a good looking bird
What a beautiful bird! Great shots! These are all around my building along with the blue with red beak variety.
