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 😄

What a beautiful bird! Great shots! These are all around my building along with the blue with red beak variety.
