Magpies are amazing and super intelligent creatures. If you’re a cunt to them. They will remember you for life. And so will every new magpie from there family. If you’re nice they will remember that as well.
Moved out of my mums around 5 years ago. And when I moved back the magpies still remember me and love me. And they have loved me for over 16 years now.
take your meds
@@papalaz4444244 I’m all out of weed mate.
Magpies are awesome if you don't harass them, I feed some where I work at lunch and they come and land on the table and will take food from your hand once they get to know you.
Probably true. My neighbour removed a nest, and from that point on his black car seemed to be the designated dumping ground for the entire flock. :D
Where I live they don't last long, they are a pest and are treated as such.
I love the magpies song it is beautiful. We have some magpies, kookaburras, king parrots and lorikeets, waking up to their songs is special and so Australian.
That was a sound I missed when I was overseas on holidays.
Notice the wheel chair at ALDI costs $179.
Now if you were say in need of one & were on NDIS or Aged Care payments. Not only would they not allow you this one, you would instead have to buy one from a "special" dealer whom will charge closer to the $3000 mark. Because they want to spend as much as they can to increase their profits.
Too true!
I goes to show how cheap, basic wheelchairs are to make, if Aldi can retail them for $179.00
While the principle of NDIS was good the amount of pure rip off everyone applied when it was government money meant even the truly disabled were better off without it. It has become the equivalent of the US military complex as far as pure corruption.
hospital wheel chair ,,, free ... just sit down and roll on... no one will say anything ...😂
Thats the liberal government for you, i do believe its being investigated though
We have a family of magpies come for breakfast every morning, a couple of them are hand fed, one even likes to come into the kitchen waiting for hubby to get the meat out of the fridge lol 🦘
Every morning at dawn I stand out on my balcony and listen to the Magpies sing. It has always been the sound of Australia to me.
Tea is also produced in Northern Australia (Queensland) and in the countries of Oceania, New Guinea (Papua) and the Fiji islands. 1:30 In the early 1980s in Poland, as a teenager, I saved a jackdaw chick that had fallen out of the nest. I fed it and taught it to fly, and in the fall I released it and it joined a large herd. Then, when I passed by and saw a flock of jackdaws, I always called the name Kasia, which I gave to this jackdaw. She often recognized me and came to sit on my hand and waited for a delicacy in the form of a small cube of hard cheese.
And then you woke up, and took your medication
@@papalaz4444244 When did they let you out of the room without door handles?
I’ve had 3 huntsman spider encounters in my car over the years. First time I had just left my driveway and pulled down the sun visor and there was one on the visor about 30 cm from my face. I stopped and got out of the car. I can’t remember how I removed it. The second time I opened the car door and felt something sticky on my fingers. My immediate thought was someone put chewing gum under the door handle, so I tried to flick it off without looking. It wouldn’t come off. I looked down. Those spiders have sticky feet. I got a pen out and flicked it off. The last one happened 4 weeks ago. I was driving along and glanced to the right and noticed huntsman spider legs rising above the car door at the base of the window. I thought it’s on the outside of the car. As the car moved the spider legs would come up, then go down again. I pulled over as a realised the spider was on the inside and hiding in the gap where the window is in the door. I found a stick on the ground, opened the window right down (no the spider didn’t descend into the door interior with the window going down) and managed to flick it out when it rose up again. I looked for it on the road but I couldn’t see it.
The much maligned magpie have a job which includes catching bugs n spiders...Aussies generally find magpies quite friendly unless you stuff with them.
My daughter bought me a lovely magpie painting by a local artist last Christmas. I love them.
Also I grew up in the Hills District and it's nice to see there's still wildlife around.
Magpies are so misunderstood, especially by we Aussies. They’re incredible affectionate and intelligent creatures. If you move into a new neighbourhood and get swooped by the local Magpies just feed them. They remember your face. That’s what I’ve always done. Now the family of magpies that swooped me come to my backyard 3-4 days a week for some mince meat. I’ve seen this family bring up 4 generations of babies and I hand feed most of them. The older male is still a little stand offish, but he still brings the fam over for a feed.
Edit: if you’re going to feed magpies make sure you use something like “insectivore”. It’s a powdered supplement that you sprinkle over the mince meat. Mince meat alone isn’t great for Magpies. Or you can use meal worms and other bugs instead of mince
Birds are friends!
I love maggies, they are so inteligwnt and their song is stunning
Jesus…he needs the damn tranquilliser…that roo wasn’t a nasty one!
Hey Ian, I harvested a "Dope" Plant" 2 weeks ago (legal in the Australian Capital Territory) and now I have a family of spiders that used to call the plant home, living in my bathroom.. They are all called Lucas. Little fkrs.
Just got back from a visit to my doctor, saw a couple of magpies pecking the ground as I was walking to my car and I gave them a low, warbling whistle I like to do when maggies are close by. One of them instantly followed me into the car park and up to my car, looking for a morsel of food but sadly I didn't have anything to give. I'll be back there next week and will make sure I have a scrap of something for them if they're still about.
Do yourself a favour and check out the relationship between Molly the magpie and Peggy the staffy. The bird barks more than the dog. I think you will enjoy it. Cheers mate.
Yes 😊, isn’t it the sweetest friendship ever ❤
Real life Pooh and Piglet - so cute!
Has the family got Molly back then?
@@elizabethc1039 Yes
After this magpie video, you think he wants to see more? Lol who uploads this stuff
Our daughter started calling Magpies, "Koodle Ooodle" birds when she was about ten. Fast forwards one generation. All of our grand babies call them Koodle Oodle birds. They got the Tasman sea in the wrong place too.
The raisin toast and the bread weren’t as expensive as you read out, because they bought three loaves of each. The prices have to include transport by refrigerated truck to the Outback. That could be thousands of kilometres, depending on where they are.
That’s what I was thinking
Was just about to comment that. Just thinking about hauling palettes of dairy products for hundreds of miles through heat and desert. And then having to return without a load.
Makes me think, though - in my imagination, people in the outback either have a farm themselves or have a 'neighbor' (20 or so miles away) that has a farm. What keeps you from getting the milk yourself and putting that into a dairy processor? Butter, yoghurt, cream (maybe cheese, but that's more difficult) - can all be done by a machine nowadays. they even pasteurize it for you. Similarly the bread - there's a gadget for that, too. And you get to have the bread exactly the way your kids like it: More/less raisins, candied orange peels, etc. Also would be a great way to teach kids sustainability and life skills.
Note that everything that's not to be refrigerated (or could be grown locally in a stable greenhouse) isn't that outlandishly priced.
===
Edit: Also worth noting: Most likely, the cost of living (aside from groceries) ought to be lower than in the city. So this should balance out.
Foood here is absolutely disgusting especially for those on fixed or low income, pensioners who rent especially here In Tassy are doing it hard there housing depth rent has gone up as well aas their grocery bills,we won't mention electricity and if you own a car petrol prices.im a little bit lucky I own my home but I'm on an aged pension and my food bill went up $100. In 1 week buying my normal items I buy every week. It was aa shock when I finished checking out to get a $300 food bill just for myself. I didn't buy anything fancy just my meat and veg meat is the killer it's so outpaced in a country that exports lamb and beef to other countries. I live on chicken that's the cheapest meat you can buy now
@@Flamebeard0815 In the Outback they aren’t farms - they’re stations. They have their own airstrips. Your closest neighbour can be over 3 hours drive. They certainly aren’t using any gadget to make bread. 😂😂😂
@@YeahNo OK, so the way is even longer. And you don't need to use any gadgets to make that stuff - my granny did that all by herself.
I just find it interesting that people move to a remote place with difficult supply routes, not informing themselves about what that entails.
Magpies even after years of hand feeding remain very cautious.
I've had them jump on my knee, pause for 10-20 seconds and look at my hand with the food, then grab the food and jump off as quickly as they can to eat it in safety before making the slow cautious approach back for round 2, even if there is multiple pieces of food in my hand that they can see.
They are also surprisingly accurate with grabbing food and don't bite fingers.
Maggie's, always watching, always ready!😂
Haven't watched it yet but I'm sure I'll enjoy it! =)
_It's pron ."Twine-ings" lol._
Golden orb spiders are beautiful and mostly harmless. They are reluctant to bite humans, and the only symptoms (unless you are severely allergic) are usually just a bit of pain and swelling. Treat them with respect and give them their space, and they'll be fine. Their webs are really awe-inspiring.
Tasmania refused to become part of a dirty cracked driveway! 😏 Magpies are amazingly smart! 🤔 Phone the bank first! 🧐 Not in Australia, US fighting Kangaroo! 🦘 Beautiful snake! 😻 AU/Tassie = Hobart! 😃 Aldi, have gone crazy!🦉 Live in the Outback, you pay for the fuel, insurances, more refrigeration, convenience - those prices are tripled! 😳 Keep pet Magpies around your car! 😁👍
The crack in the driveway is a pic of our backyard. Tasmanian here.
@@JoniusGnome Oh, well it is a well made and creative crack! 😄
@@JoniusGnome Talk about missing places, Cape York Peninsula was missing.
@@JamesDavy2009 So that was the thing stuck in my teeth this morning. Have a good day mate.
@@JoniusGnome You too, cobber.
7:28 God dammit, bloody tourists stressing out the locals again. Look at his face, so so stressed, all he wanted was a hug!
He's not just a tourist, the tourist was just an American stressing out the locals.
I guessing that guy yelling at the Kangaroo is probably a type of person who travel to other countries just to break their laws.
Applied for job as sheep shaver, accidentally ended up on a kangaroo farm.
G'day Ian,
One day, my family stopped off at Repco (car parts store). We had been sitting there for two minutes. My Dad opened the driver side door to get out and a huge huntsman was sitting in the recess part of the door. Dad gently knocked the spider onto the ground. No sooner had the spider landed on the ground, a magpie grabbed it. We figured the magpie was checking for bugs etc under the car and seen the spider land on the ground.
I love hearing the warble of the magpies in the mornings.
I love it that it says "You have saved $0.24" at the bottom of that receipt. So no reason to complain, right? :)
Greetings from Scotland!
East coast black backed magpie, ours in SA have a white back helps to identify what part of Australia your in
Also, the patch on the back of the neck is dimorphic between the sexes: white for males and a light grey for females. The warbler was totally a bloke.
When you talk about prices in the outback remember that Australia is very big. Some of these shops are more than 500km (320 miles) from the next town with nothing in between. By nothing I mean nothing, no houses, no people, no phone coverage and dirt roads. There is usually no electricity so all of the freezers and fridges run of generators and the fresh food and bread must be transported in a small truck along dirt roads. Although it looks expensive it is a lot cheaper than driving for 6 hours to the next town or maybe 15 hours to a city, buying cheap food, putting it in iceboxes or mobile fridges and then driving home every week
Diamond pythons are beautiful. My sister has a very large one that visits daily.
Hey Ian, if you do try some Twinings Australian Afternoon tea (or any other type of tea for that matter) the one thing you MUST NOT DO, is to dunk the teabag in water that is merely just hot. The water should be boiling, just before you pour it in the mug (or cup) and then you wait for at least two minutes for the tea to be infused into the water. After that, you can dispose of the teabag and only then, do you add milk and/or sugar. I have heard Americans talk about heating up water in a microwave to make a cup of Tea with and trust me, that’s NOT Tea! Strictly speaking, if yoiu want to taste the best Tea ever, you should not even use teabags, but make a pot of tea in a proper china teapot, which has been preheated, with a teaspoon of tea-leaves for each person and one for the pot, which go into the teapot just before the boiling water is poured in. The tea should be stirred gently until the leaves are all gone from the surface of the water and then the lid is put on and the ppot is left to brew for two minutes. When pouring into cups or mugs, the tea goes first, then milk, etc.
I have actully done comparison tests for people who don’t believe it makes that much difference and they are always stunned at HOW MUCH difference it makes.
Tea, like Coffee, is a drink that can be SO much better than most people realise, with just a little effort.
wrong historically. Tea should be made with water just before it boils ( same with instant coffee). You will seldom if ever get boiling water used to make tea in China who are the experts on tea drinking. If they boil water they will use it to pre heat the tea pot but not pour it on the tea itself..
@@ianmontgomery7534 Green tea should not be made with boiling water, but you should use boiling water for black tea.
@@esmeralda3858I totally disagree. I spent four years living in China and no one there used boiling water to make tea and the price of some the tea was mind blowing. I go along with them and my favourite tea is Oolong and I never use boiling water and let it brew for four minutes or so but I am happy for you to do it your way.
You don’t use boiling water to make tea. You don’t know squat about making tea. 🙄
@@ianmontgomery7534Correct. These others should be banned from making tea.
Greetings from Hobart! It's obviously the best part of Oz!
Literally just sat down after hand feeding my local flock of mogpies. They were eating out of my hand.
Is that a cross between a cat and a magpie? 😂
We had a lot of golden orbs in the Yukka plant lining our back fence…. Kept the trespassers out
If you make friends with a Magpie you've pretty well got a friend for life.
1:18 it's missing Cape York too.
Australia is not on earth...it's a world by itself
Tasmanian here, love the world globe.
Thats the mum/dad thing .
Every year on the farm they bring there chics,upwards of 50 + some years.
They love cat food biscuits,
But you're right,having them hunt you down on a pushie is hectic funny
That magpie is a farken champ!
Tassie does not have Aldi, darn who ever made that globe, telling the world we are the best state!!
Apples and devils and double headers, oh my!
2028 Total Eclipse is going right over Queenstown's and Dunedin in the South Island of New Zealand. I have friends already planning a trip from the US to see it with me.
Twining Aussie afternoon tea is SO GOOD I won't buy bushels again now I can drink this tea
The magpie song is my very favourite. I smetimes give rolled oats to them and they call for their family to join. But there is a definite pecking order. I have never been swooped. Apparently they can recognise human faces and remember them for years.
A bit of info on the cost of groceries... Most of the prices aren't much higher than the pre covid inflation prices. It's when they're added together, is when it's noticeable.
Overall, where pricing is concerned. The prices are pretty much consistent regardless of whether it's Brisbane, Sydney, Dubbo, Inverell, Atherton, Gilgandra, Gulgong or Bingara etc etc. The main price variation is the cost of diesel and time to cart it out!
And BTW, that spider is "small" by Australian standards! 😂.. It's when a huntsman appears inside your car while driving, that's when accidents can occur! 😂😂.
The Whistling Spider is the biggest. The Funnel Web, is the deadliest.
Does sound like an American voice in the Kangaroo clip. Like the New Jersey cat video.
I guess that American is a type of person who just came Australia and ruin everyone's vibe. Some tourists just travel to another country and break their laws.
Talk to your bank first, if they know nothing, get the police. There is a fraud, scam division.
Avocados are variable by season, at times in past year from under $1 each to over $3 each depending on type and size. Currently Hass arecat $1.50 to $1.75 each. Aldi has bags of 5 to 7 medium size ones for a bit over $5 a bag. Yes I have seen up to $7 each in some stores, but also bought some at barely $0.50 each.
I have one magpie that started taking food from my hand when it was just out of the nest, now it sometimes sits on the next chair for a while, it still takes food from my hand when it wants to.
Outback groceries have to factor in the cartage and petrol when it is delivered to the store. Those costs are included in the customer prices.
Those fruit, vegetables, packaged items, toiletries, etc, are not locally sourced.
It’s like sending them from New Orleans to El Paso or from Paris to Vienna.
We used to sell those same owls in Bunnings. Its a bobble head that moves in the wind, with reflective eyes. It is intended to look realistic and act as a scarecrow protecting your vegetable garden from native birds and pests. However, the sales flopped terrifically in our area as most of the native birds either weren't afraid of it and tried to become friends with the fake owl's, or started bullying them.
The number of times people returned broken owls that native birds had destroyed was off the charts. We even had one where the owl had been cracked open and another smaller bird had made its nest inside of the owl.
We have a family of Maggie's come 2 to 3 times a day and hand feed them all ,they are a amazing birds.
Nice python! My eldest daugher got a Brisbane carpet python for her 16th Birthday, from a guy who breeds them, and lived next door to her grandparents. It was a baby when she got it and she used to carry it around under her sleeve. The snake used to wrap itself around her wrist and rest its head on Kate’s watch. Apparently it liked the osund it made.
Snakes listen through vibrations in what they're on. Your daughter's python loves watch ticks apparently.
magpies you start by feeding them in your yard next thing you know the magpie is on the kitchen bench demanding food
My neigbourhood magpies fly past me at full speed and about a metre away - they are not swooping just going about their business. i can walk within a metre of quite a few of them.
Magpie: "Crikey, the human is about to snag that tasty spider. Gotta go fast!"
That receipt seem about on par with my stores though. Maybe I could migrate after all. :o
That letter from the NT is interesting as a couple of months ago there were similar incidents at Wyee and Wyee Point in the Central Coast of NSW. Cars were stolen and a couple of peeps saw a guy in a white ute.
I enjoyed that as I always do Ian, I love the last bit, I wasn't expecting that either and I am Aussie. 😂🤣😂
I have golden orb weavers around my home. If I walk through a part of a web, the spider remakes that part of the web to allow space for me to walk through. Unfortunately, the local pied butcher birds have a taste for fresh golden orb weavers at times.
nah that roo is a put up job
8:45 its a diamond python
Definitely call the bank first , there’s plenty of scams around all the time it’s annoying and frustrating! As for Kangaroos , they are cute but need to be careful too, especially in the wild obviously, the ones in the zoos are more used to people around. Aussie snakes and spiders, just have to have common sense, don’t worry lol . Btw no drop bears 😂😂
That's why I love Magpies😂😂😂😂😂
St George is a real bank
And the letter is complete BS. Don’t even need to read it. The formatting is completely wrong.
Hills district in north west Sydney has lots of bushland, snakes are common up there!🤔🙂
That shopping bill was cheap, where I live, a kilo block of cheese is $20 as for the rest of her bill double it.
I had a spider bigger than the last one crawl through my passenger window and into the air vent. Freaked my grandson out and he hasn’t sat in the front again
When I lived on a farm & milked the cows I had a snake come most mornings & have a drink of milk
The magpie was like human I'm hungry you maybe afraid of spiders so I'll take it off your hands 😂
Human be like: "Thanks, cobber."
And the fruit and veg here should almost free
Coconuts,mangoes of every variety bananas pineapples etc every other tropical fruit earth
It grows and lays thick in the ground
10:19 Look below Tasmania and New Zealand at Antarctica there is a long island land mass and Antarctica is a continental sized atoll lol
I lived in Darwin. One night my car was broken into, nothing stolen, but the door was left open. However, the guy next door had his car stolen, from the backyard. It was behind locked gates. The thieves broke into the house, found the car keys, and the key to the gate, and left without any hearing a thing. Darwin thieves are quite skilful. They will even enter your home during the day while you are home. I'd have loved to catch them in the act.
Love magpies they tap on my back door for food Ive been feeding them now there are 4 bird's ❤
Australian Afternoon is honestly the best black tea.
Nah, I'll just stick with my Woolies Home Brand tea, thanks. 👍
It was originally supposed to be a limited edition but then became permanent.
4:24 it's also folded the wrong way.
Magpie warbles are awesome.
That Diamond Python is not even fully grown. Completely harmless good to keep rodents and pest birds under control. I have one in an enclosure 2 rooms away from where I am typing this.
That eclipse in 2028 has it's middle only ~20ish kms away from where I live.
Yeah, I'm excited - just gotta make sure that excitement lasts for four years now -_-
Good thing that spider got snatched, anyone else noticed it was trying to crawl inside before it got caught?
Magpies Australian air force 🤣🤣
Maggies will remember you. Very smart. So be nice and they won't swoop you in baby season!!!
Already picked my spot for the 2028 Eclipse, 100ks south of Kununurra where totality lasts 5m10s.
That was awesome commentary
you need 1 of those wheelchairs from Aldi, for the beer tasting lol
have you ever looked into what it's like for a business in middle of outback? the stores aren't always to blame, being so isolated, except for the company stores, they just go for the wages they paid the miners lol.
it's a tough living for many places, you may find it quite interesting to learn about
The owl is a scarecrow.
I would hope St. George is a real bank, since I use them :)
The outback shopping will be expensive cos 1. Freight and 2. Probably running the fridges on a diesel generator (unless they have solar & battery). And we all know the cost of fuel these days! So I don't blame the store, it's just life. At least the real estate is cheap out there
Ian, dive into anything you can find about Australian magpies. They are one of, if not, the most amazing bird on Earth.
After seeing that receipt I will stop complaining dam that was expensive
We were always told as kids never to feed birds bread, including I magpies. Yup just read it, other foods, mince as well
*Steer Clear: Foods to Avoid Feeding Magpies.
*Bread, for example, should be avoided as it lacks essential nutrients and can even cause birth defects in nestlings.
12:55 only 5 -6 years for the first one
Regarding that magpie he is saying 'thank you but drop the food, because he doesn't know you that well YET.' Oh and P.S. he comes from a long line of hand fed maggies and he only just met you. I hope that clears it all up for everyone not in the know. LOL
The tragedy of human-raised roos ... that the dayncomes when things go wrong and people are allowed to think roos are dangerous "for nothing".
Lesson learned: magpies are heroes.
The second set of comments on the car theft has a post from OP in it that the car was found, totalled. So basically a joyride GTA with a posting of the letter to get a head start.
Got to love the maggie!
MY home city of Newcastle which is only two hours north of Sydney will get the total eclipes also
St George Bank only send their header in red Ink
Aldi middle aisle = the "aisle of dreams"
If you look closely at our wildlife, it's easy to see where Aboriginal art comes from.
