Use to feed mine raw mince steak ,
Yeah they reckon that’s not good for em either cause it’s minced. Chunks probably be ok.
I was listening to a vet on the radio a few years back and he said the only things humans should feed carnivore birds is dry cat or dog food.

Sugar you shouldn’t feed magpies mushy wet food it gets stuck in crevices in their beaks and rots them. That looks like porridge or wheat bix.
Dry cat or dog food is best for them.

No it's a mixture of diced chicken thighs, dry cat food and a few dried bits of seeded bread

Straight beak carnivore birds shouldn’t have stuff in their beaks. Like when ya watch em pull a worm from the ground they pull it out with the tip of their beak tilt their head back and down it goes whole.

I'm in a quandary with the maggie because she has lost her partner and is nesting and comes to me often for food

They will be almost solely reliant on you if you feed them every day.

I don't want that and I had been feeding the birds during the bushfire period for a few months (galahs, sulphur crested pigeons, native minor birds, various parrots, crows, currawongs, maggies you name em) and gradually weaned off so they went foraging themselves but these two birds haven't forgotten where I am and now they are breeding they hassle the heck out of me...hard for me not to feed them

Just feed em every 2nd or 3rd day. If the mother just feeds at your place that’s all she will teach the kids to do.
