Baby blackbird dropped on pavement is on the mend after couple rescue it

A baby black bird is on the mend after it was dropped on a pavement by a magpie in Tyldsley and a worried couple gave it some life saving tweetment.

Worried Anne, noting the tiny little songbird had hardly any feathers and what looked an injured head, picked him up from the pavement and held him for half a mile as she walked home to her address, where she lives with husband Donald, who works in renewable energy.The couple then nestled the little chap, who they say was semi conscious, in a sandwich box full of tissues and were able to give him some water.

Cringe

Are magpies a protected species, If so I don’t understand why. They hunt and scare all the smaller garden birds

But does it sing in the dead of night?

I had rescued a fledging blackbird, taught it to fly. It stayed with the family for 3/4 yrs? It used to roost on a standard lamp & watch TV. A brought offspring to the house to feed! We called her Specky. Blackbird

Saw 2 magpies attacking a small blackbird outside my flat and I tried to save it but I was too late and they dragged it off into the bushes... guess they are higher up the food chain

is there a description of the Magpie perpetrator?
