[Can a magpie be kept as a pet?]

my 15yr old sister found one blown out of a nest on my parents farm but my mum wont let her keep it cos they eat native bird eggs and chicks, and the cat wants to kill it. I'm thinking about having it as an inside bird that would live in a cage over night, but could fly around the house most of the day.

it cant fly yet and is very friendly and rides on her shoulder/head everywhere

[Angels 'kissing']

it was ripped right off, about half a centimetre of bottom jaw came off, which the other fish ate

[Angels 'kissing']

I had a male angel rip the bottom jaw off another male while lip-locking and it died. Of course it was my favourite that was killed.

[Killie Virgin]

I'm interested in killies too

All I know is that they are bad jumpers

[Plywood tank]

Personally I still think its dicey and going to be alot of work and probably not going to be better than a glass one..

what dont you like about it?

thanks for the articles I hadnt seen the third one

[Plywood tank]

i don't believe it will as it will only be a strong as the fixings at either end of the bracing. the weak point will be at the corners especially, i would use aluminium angle for holding the corner together but it won't be to pretty & will end up costing similar to a glass tank & add heaps of time to complete it. I would personally only make a plywood tank if it was 2 or 3 times that size & it had a steel frame to fix to. give it a go but i dont think it would last more than 12 months.

I agree the weakpoint is the corners. To counter this, I plan to put a 100x100 post in each corner. There will be an aluminium plate (blue) that will be bolted to the horizontal rail and back through the corner post (bolts in black). this will mean that the forces should be transferred into a tensile force along the length of each horizontal beam.

Thanks for you're help Smidey, this is why I posted this before getting started - to see what people think will work and what wont
