aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 magpies never really cause a problem round my place. i have plenty of them but there not making a serious dent on the bird population. i still get the same amount of blue tits, great tits, coal tits, longtailed tits, finches and sparrows every year. i feed them rats i trap once and a while and ive seen them devour a whole wlarge rat in under 4 minutes.

Aye, but make a dent in the local population around where you are, & I guarantee you'll see a lot more songbirds this time next year. Quote Link to post
