19.01.2022 I love feeding my local magpies and birds So often we hear about people feeding their local birds. The Maggie’s call for their morning breakfast or arvo snack.... They sing to us and our hearts warm to their love. They bring their young, tap on our screens, call to us and that human connection in us feels a sense of love. We feel like we are helping. We aren’t. As humans we love animals (well most of us), we want to feel connected to them, help them, love them and enjoy feeling loved by them. We get it. We do too. But we aren’t helping, not like this. We are killing them with kindness. Feeding birds bread, cheap mince and other human food creates nutritional deficiencies and they suffer metabolic bone disease ( MBD) where their bones and beaks are soft. This causes irreparable damage and the animals need to be euthanised or they die in the wild painfully. This little magpie was found last night, his legs completely backwards. Metabolic bone disease. The crow is the photo couldn’t close his beak, he would starve in the wild. He was put to sleep. Metabolic bone disease. People feeding their magpies love them dearly, they would never want to see them hurt or in pain. The truth is, this is what happens and it’s happening at a rapid rate. This last week we have rescued so many birds with MBD. What can you do? STOP cheap fatty mince STOP bread STOP human food You CAN feed, beef heart cut into thin strips like worms and it MUST be coated in insectivores. Which is a powder that can be found online or at pet shops. OR Top quality lean mince with insectivores and needs to have an almost dry consistency. These are the ONLY two options, please don’t feed cheap mince and please don’t feed without insectivore as it causes the deficiencies. MBD happens quickly, you feed the parents and their babies end up like this. If you truly love them, like we know you do, plant gardens, worm farms or feed the above options and nothing else. The hardest thing for us is rescuing animals where the illness/injury could have been prevented. This doesn’t need to happen if we all do the right thing. One of the most difficult things for us is getting people to believe the impact they are having. People tell us our Maggie’s are fine, I’ve fed them for years. These photos are the proof that they aren’t fine. Please help the best way you can. Know better, do better And thank you for loving our wildlife If you would like to make a donation to our campaign please do so via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=RAC4XJJZSK75E Please mark your donation SAFE HAVEN. Thank you
