    The magpies have been making this sound that could be coughing?

    spoiler

    But I can’t find a real video of what coughing sounds like in birds. Had to dig through layers of content farms and botshit by specifying veterinary and still there isn’t any succinct clip like ‘this sound is/isn’t cause for concern’. I’m really hoping bird flu hasn’t come back around because that water dispenser is shared by a number of birds and at least one cat. I shouldn’t have put it out in the first place but caved and began providing water in the very hot days of summer. Guess I keep trying to figure it out. Edit: Saved by the other place www.reddit.com/r/…/baby_magpie_coughing/

      Sounds a bit like my bestie (who is a bit bigger) down the beach the other week. I thought it was weird barking but maybe just coughing up a beetle / worm lol.

        This magpie is a big friendly female as well. Hopefully she’s all good and was just chatting to the half grown baby with her
