I occasionally give the family of magpies nearby some plain ground beef (cooked) like maybe a handful of times per season. They always visit when I'm outside and they're attentive and interesting.

- emsimot 6y agoJust a heads up, I listened to a podcast about bird feeding recently and they mentioned that ground beef can cause serious bone density issues in magpies and crows, they're used to eating the bones of small animals alongside the meat and with a full belly of mince they won't seek them out. May be worth looking into! They suggested mixing ground-up calcium supplements into the beef.
