My beloved magpie pair Maudie & Papa for whom this Instagram Page was named! For those who are recent followers you probably don’t know them! It’s coming up 12 months since they lost their territory to a group of raiding magpies!💔 Maudie and Papa lived around our place for probably at least 15 years and becoming very friendly about 6 years ago when they introduced 3 babies! Probably not their first but they had realised we were friendly humans! Very special birds I still shed a tear for! We used to have many chats and spent a lot mod time together especially in the last couple of years! I may change the pages name, I’m not decided yet! But whatever happens I will post the occasional photo or video from time to time! This came up in FB memories and I remember it like it was yesterday! The photos weren’t edited the skies were as you see them here! Magnificent sky and magnificent magpies! A special memory! 💔💔🦅🦅 #maudieandpapa #famillebenttail #belovedfriends #gonebutneverforgotten #clevermimic #papathemimic #australianmagpie #backyardbuddies #birdsinbackyards #birds_adored #gorgeoussunset #memoriesaremadeofthis #teteatete #mesamis #ww_australia #australia__downunder #nuts_about_birds https://www.instagram.com/p/CZtDgP2P-A_/?utm_medium=tumblr
