Hi all,
Our local magpies had chicks this year and one of the juveniles came in to
try t swipe some dog food from the bowl at our place (Como on the Woronora
River, Southern Sydney)
I could see it had something wrong with its eyes so went to get binoculars
and say a pretty horrible sight.
It’s right eye had about 5 warty-looking growths around the margins, on the
eye lids I think.
The left eye was completely covered with these growths, so that I could not
even see it’s eye.
I don’t think it would have been possible to see out of that eye.
Didn’t seem to affect its binocular vision too much: it had no apparent
trouble perching on our gate and then on a tree branch as it flew off once
the dog came on the scene.
Anyone seen this sort of thing before? Any idea what it may be?
Paul.

Paul,
Yes there have been some local prior messages on this subject. Though I
don’t recall details. But this easily found website from UK, describes it.
