Mark got in contact by email and has now become a member of the club. He says: I've started a facebook group called.....international magpie pigeon custodians. if you and any of the other club members want to join it you are more than welcome. Thought it might be a good place for magpie lovers to chat and communicate with each other from around the world.  

I've been advertising on the net around my city of the gold coast and the next biggest city 100 kilometers away, Brisbane for a hen magpie but am finding it difficult to get one at the moment.

I'm always on the lookout for things and books on magpie pigeons on ebay, there isn't alot of information out there about the breed. I really want to keep my racers going and also specialise in magpie pigeons.

I collected a rescue, yellow magpie from a loft about 200 kms away. The eldery owner apparently had gone a bit senile and was forgetting to feed and water his birds. The animal welfare RSPCA went there and took out many dead birds and had to cull many I was told, One of my pigeons friends who keeps many variety of fancy pigeons who gave me my first magpie apparently went there and rescued the yellow magpie he has given to me. Its extremely light and in poor condition. Its quite a friendly bird, Hopefully she will put on some meat over the next six months and live a good life here at my loft.
