Mr percivil having a break from the kids

A few pics of Wonky, a frequent visitor to our yard for around a year. Born around September 2025 to parents Charlie and Mama Magpie, Wonky is curious, cheeky, and absolutely fearless. Nothing fazed him - see the photo of him completely unconcerned with a cat sharing the yard with him (don't worry, the cat is elderly and lazy and couldn't be less interested in chasing birds).

As a male, Wonky has had to leave his parents' territory to make room for a new brood of chicks. I'll miss the afternoons when he'd sit on my windowsill chattering away for an hour; the fact he preferred to sit on my knee & eat from my hand rather than have treats thrown on the ground for him; but most of all I'll miss his wonky foot, which like anything else life threw at him, did not slow him down for one moment.

She brought a solo bub along this morning 🌄

Little one is high on the telegraph pole.

Just helped pull his foot out of the gap in between the boot lid and the quarter panel. I assume Mum/dad is there to convince them to jump??

Sad update: it just attempted flying off the car and flew onto the road and met its end 😭. I'm fucking gutted
