I took these photos within about 2 minutes, all on the same fence post.  then a male White backed Magpie, he recently lost his mate, she was looking ill for a long time and now I dont see her any more.   and lastly his little wifey. "they've eaten it all  "  dont worry, she got some too.

Minced bunny, I buy it just for them, although I dont give them much, I dont want them to become dependent on me feeding them.

That sucks!I was too, she was the bolder of the two and would come quite close to me. I saw her getting sicker and I tried to make sure she could feed as it seemed such an effort for her to come when I called. But after a while she just stopped coming.
