Welcome to the sneak peek of "Magpie Munchies," our FREE eBook narrated by yours truly, R2-D2, the Masterchef Magpie!
I've noticed that many folks just can't resist feeding us, even when experts often advise against it. They also understand that people will do it anyway. Magpie Munchies takes a proactive approach by educating people on how to do it safely and responsibly.
Having this guide to educate them is much better than simply discouraging feeding altogether, and thus, people continue to feed us magpies the wrong things! By providing this information, we can ensure that the food we receive is nutritious and won't harm us.
From navigating the risks of MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease) to avoiding toxic treats that could harm us, we'll explore the essential do's and don'ts of feeding magpies.
But don't worry, my fine-featherless friends – it's not all cautionary tales. We'll also venture into the realm of nutritious tucker, presenting recipes fit for magpie royalty. And if you're curious about what magpies feast on in the wild, we'll take a closer look at our natural diet.
Additionally, we'll spill the beans on how to transform your backyard into a bug bonanza – a downright scrumptious spread fit for us magpies! And don't forget the specially designed foraging tray to amp up our feathery fun!
Danielle's fascination with Australian magpies began over a decade ago, sparking a deep passion for these intelligent birds, which inspired her to become a licensed wildlife carer.
Danielle's journey is intertwined with a personal healing story. In the midst of severe anxiety and depression, magpies emerged as unexpected allies, providing comfort and companionship during her darkest days, showing how nature can have a powerful impact on mental well-being and the special bond between humans and animals.
Danielle finds solace in the company of birds, and often prefers their company to that of people. This preference stems from the fact that animals, unlike people, do not judge or criticise. Danielle has openly shared that being around people triggers feelings of anxiety or discomfort, emotions she doesn't experience in the presence of birds. The calm and peace she finds with birds become an invaluable source of joy, entertainment, and emotional support in her life.
Through the lens of her images and videos, Danielle extends a warm invitation for you to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of these intelligent and charismatic birds. Each magpie emerges as a unique individual, showcasing distinct personalities and endearing quirks that capture the heart.
Her goal? To inspire others to cherish and protect magpies. With their distinct qualities, magpies have a special place in our hearts. Let's celebrate these amazing birds together.
"Magpies have given my life a unique purpose and a sense of belonging that feels truly special. I can't imagine where my life would be without them." - The Magpie Whisperer
