A bird loving woman who started
caring for an injured magpie now finds her home inundated with them in the
early hours of every morning.
The woman, who lives in Oxenford
in Queensland, doesn't mind the early wake up call and finds it
''relaxing' to start each morning spending time with the birds.
'I usually get up at 5.30
in the morning and come out with my coffee and they are here waiting for me'
Collette Dunn told 7 news.
Each morning when Colette comes
out with her morning coffee, she founds dozens of magpies waiting for breakfast
With a gourmet menu on offer each
morning including dried crickets, meals worms, sunflower seeds, oats and
premium mince, it is no wonder the birds keep returning for more.
Good samaritan Colette started
feeding the magpies after she found an injured one in her backyard.
'It all started with one that we
started feeding that had a broken beak. He told his friends!' she told
the ABC.
