A Few From Barons Haugh
Re: A Few From Barons Haugh
Hi Linda! I observed the courtship of two magpies on my balcony rail, bird bath and berry vine pergola which actually mated there. So sexing them was 100% accurate after that.Linda257 wrote: Tue Sep 23, 2025 7:52 am Not sure how how you were able to sex your "Maggie" but well done.

'Maggie' is on the left. The male is to the right and has a thicker chest, larger black 'bib' and weighs more.
