NEW FRIEND

Today I made my first bird-friend in Melbourne.

I was at the Royal Botanic Garden, doing some drawing and eating some bread when a magpie slowly started to come towards me. He/she had a very curious expression and approached me with hesitance. I threw some bread and he/she ate it.

Then I held out a piece of bread. After about a minute of stillness, the magpie grabbed the bread off my hand! Friendship + trust level 9000!!! :D Seriously, when a bird takes a piece of bread from you hands, that means something.

But as always with bird-friends, our friendship came to an end when I ran out of bread.
