At first the introduction was slow!

However, ever watchful Matt, along with Swoop, taught Mowgli some meals don’t have to have feathers attached to them. Now they even sunbathe and play together.

“I slowly introduced those two together and I was just really surprised the cat came to love it.”

Sometimes Mowgli gets annoyed with Swoop’s loud screeches and the bird’s fascination with his tail. Still, the cat and bird are a tight pair.

“They’re sort of best mates and they just hang out with each other all the time. Usually they’re just roaming around together; the bird’s lying on his back and cuddling with the cat.”

Being a magpie, Swoop is part of the crow family and highly intelligent. Matt says he is regularly surprised by his bird buddy’s antics. One example? Clever Swoop utilizes the cat door with Mowgli.

The silly bird also knows how to pull off the perfect photo bomb…

On helping to forge the unusual friendship, Matt warned, “I don’t think it’s a good idea to go out and find a magpie but in this instance it needed to be done – he would have died otherwise.”

Mowgli and Swoop are his buddies and does everything he can to keep them both healthy and happy.

Swoop travels everywhere with Matt, even into the city to visit Matt’s dad and meeting Swoop came at a perfect time.

Matt’s dad is experiencing a bit of a hard time keeping Matt in a state of worry recently. The joy he found in his friendship with Mowgli the cat and Swoop the magpie is an unexpected delight.
