Australian Magpies coping in the Summer heat
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
During the summer months we often have temperatures above 40 Celsius (above 100 Fahrenheit). The Australian Magpies as well as all other animals who live in our region have adopted to these conditions, but it is still a trying time for them. This video is a glimpse into their lives during this uncomfortable time and how they have learned to cope.
In colder continents like North America, birds have to deal with the exact opposite. Instead of extreme heat like in Australia they have to survive in extreme cold conditions.

I think our Canadian magpies have it much easier than yours do. Ours are excellent scavengers, finding roadkill and stealing food left out for the smaller birds. The biggest reason though, is that they only have to feed themselves in winter, whereas your magpies have to feed their young as well - that's gotta be tough. Really loved seeing the polar opposite situation 🙃🌏🌎😊

There are always bugs around and by the time summer really heats up the fledgelings are nearly grown. The heat is a problem though but they cope quite well and stay in the shade during the hottest part of the day. Usually they find enough to eat early in the morning to keep them going and there are bugs in the shade too. Even if your Magpies find a dead animal in a frozen snow covered Canadian landscape I still can't imagine how they can survive a night in the open

Our magpies seem to group together overnight which helps, but how they survive times like now when it’s-35C (windchill -45C), I just don’t know!

We regularly have temperatures above 40C but I can only remember having 47C once in our area. Living on the land we often have to work outside even in those temperatures. What we do is get a long sleeved flannel shirt and a large brimmed cotton hat and dunk it in water. When you put it on it feels cold like ice. Some birds regularly dive into the water on those days but the magpies rarely wet their feathers. I can never understand why, even the kangaroos constantly lick their arms to cool themselves, but the magpies just sit and suffer.

We have had only one rain event in the last five months. Victoria is generally much more green than here. I have seen magpies in the eastern states and have not noticed that they look different in general. We do see some small differences between the tribes though. Some tribes seem to have a bit more white than others, for example, but we have always assumed that those differences are due to breeding in the same group. @@juliehowe3

Indeed. I totally agree. We gain so much with technology and our civilisation, but I think we also loose more. Just as a person born blind can only guess what sight really means we simply can't fathom what we have lost. Why does it have to be a trade off?
A wonderful film showing the hardships for summer wildlife in Australia. Birds are remarkable especially when there is enough precious water and food (I see lots of insects are available) and trees. Here it is the opposite although in New York City we have not had snow for 2 years (as of today) and some migrating birds appear to be staying longer. I hope your summer is manageable this year. Warm greetings, Cathy

Thank you Cathy. Your warm greetings are truly appreciated although cool greetings would be even more welcome😅. Our summers would be devastating in cool climate countries, but we are used to it and have systems in place, so it's no big deal. It is uncomfortable when temperatures are over 40C but in a strange way we kind of like it too. There is a special feeling in the air on those days. We have ponds on our property so there is always water for the animals. The birdbath is not necessary but we have it in front of our kitchen window just for entertainment. It is interesting though, some of the birds prefer to hang out at the birdbath and there is one kangaroo which insists on emptying it most afternoons.The others prefer to drink from the pond, but not this one😐

Too bad hot weather is not commodity😐 There would be some great bargains to be had. Get 10 degrees for the price of one😎Heck! Just take it! Free😅 Funny thing about the magpies and ravens at our place. No matter how hot it is they don't take a bath like the parrots do! We have seen them do it, but very rarely. It is water we pump up from the ponds. Frogs and crustaceans live in there and possibly their sense of smell is better than ours and they don't want to smell like a frog😏

Thanks guys. Another person commented on that so we did some research and yes indeed our Magpies are different to yours. There are 8 or 9 subspecies and ours is the "White-backed Magpie". Apparently they are a bit bigger than yours too. Although I have seen Magpies over east I never took a close look and we just assumed that Magpies are Magpies and the colouration differences were just due to differences between birds. Some of our Magpies have a much bigger white patch than others so we never thought much about it. Yes we love our house. It is a wonderful shelter. It has survived a few nasty storms and keeps us safe and warm when it is below 0 and comfortably cool even when we had a record heat wave of 47C a few years ago.

You would think they would seek shelter but no. They sit there not far away looking miserable but they never come under the verandah. Only the Willy Wagtail does sometimes. But he practically lives on our verandah and nests in the bushes right next to it. Only one magpie ever goes under the car when it is above 40 and it is the only one. It is almost like they are superstitious.@@hungrybirds_aus

Thank you! It is true they can cope but they have to be careful not to overheat. When the temperatures are above 40C in the shade if they stay too long in direct sunlight or fly a little too long they overheat and die. I have seen a young parrot literally drop in mid flight, dead. You have to understand that with those temperatures everything you touch is hot. If you pick up a rock that has been in the sun for a while it is too hot for you to hold in your hand. Thank you for your engaging comment.
I really enjoyed your video! Where I live, the temp is about to be below zero for a few days (by the coastal line of the Gulf of Mexico where the Winter is chilly but never cold) and I'm worried about the wild birds and animals as they're not accustomed to such severe cold weather (while they know to survive the extreme heat like your current climate there). Your bird bath is essential for those Magpies and other birds to survive the extreme heat there, and thank you for providing them plenty of clean cold water! 😀

I don't think you need to worry. We often have temperatures below 0C in winter. We have recorded our rainfall and temperatures on our property for more than 20 years and the lowest was minus 7C and the highest so far was 47C. We find that the birds and animals seem to handle the cold much better than the heat. But then at our place normally when we have cold temperatures it is at night and the sky is clear so by 9:00 AM in the morning it is quite warm, and they tend to move around at night and sleep during the day. I would imagine it would be similar where you are. Thank you for your concern and lovely comment.
