Magpie Lark

Grallina cyanoleuca

Four Magpie Lark chicks were found on the ground by four boys. Being the perfect number they each took one home.
Amazingly, all chicks survived the night, but by morning they were cold and hungry. Common sense prevailed and the chicks were taken to an adult who called WIRES. (One even survived a bicycle ride in a boy’s pocket!)
The youngest chick did not survive long term, but the other 3 were successfully released with a group of other Magpie Larks.
