Swoop, There it Is

Friendly magpie flies into man’s life (and his cat’s)

Matt and his cat Mowgli were best friends living a great life, but still something was missing. Fortunately, Fate knew just what to send them: a baby magpie Matt named Swoop. After rescuing and raising the chick, Matt had a new loving and loyal friend, and so did Mowgli. (via Murray C.)

    I’m officially in love with Swoop, Mowgli, and their dad. If dad wants something else to love and look after, I volunteer as tribute.

      Well the human male is unusually attractive, but Swoop is the star.

    Ok, the bit about his dad was unexpected. Is someone cutting onions again?

    Awesome story and tribute to the Dad who raised a kind young man.

    A Magpie, a cat, and a Kiwi walked into our hearts …

    This is just beyond cute and I don’t know whether I want to adopt this man or marry him! Especially since he comes already equipped with a house panther and a boird. I never realized how intelligent magpies can be.

    Oh my flipping goodness! There are sooooo many coincidences for me in this clip: 1. I’m also from NZ like this guy. 2. I have a cat called Mowgli. 3. My birthday is February 3, the same day Matt’s dad passed away. Oh and also very cute birb, kitteh and gentleman.
