Magpie

Poor Sophie magpie has still not let us catch her to take her to the vet for her flu and eye trouble. When I got the cage out, she knew it was for her and squarked and flew up into the tree. Dimpy butcherbird, and Mindy and Monty magpies tried out the cage, seemingly knowing that it wasn't there for them. I did get a bit of a feeling today that Sophie looked a little bit better, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

While we were worrying about getting Butch to recover, Sophie Magpie started getting the sniffles. Unfortunately it seems to have developed into some kind of all-out flu, and she is also getting eye trouble too.

For a few days now Sophie magpie has looked unwell. I thought it would get better, but she now looks as if her eyes are in trouble also. And she seems to have a runny nose or something, which Butch never did, so it seems to be something other than what hit Butch. She ate some medicine this morning, so we'll keep on feeding her to help her out. If we get a chance, we might have to try to catch her for a trip to the vet. It will be harder though because she isn't coming down from the trees much, unfortunately.

Unfortunately our camera is on the fritz, just when you need it most!
