Coffee Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Up to A couple years ago here in orford there seemed to be lots of magpies, they seemed to have disappeared. now we seem to have loads of pigeons and yesterday on the roof there must have been 20 seagulls so where have the magpies gone and where do seagulls come and go to?

algy Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Plenty of magpies near us, in fact too damned many, also more jays this year than in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Well the ones near me have been busy raiding the rubbish bins on sankey valley again. litter strewn everywhere this morning and two still sat on the edge of the bin pulling more out. Now if there was a way to train them to put litter in the bins then just think how tidy the area would be. May sound strange but magpies have a regional accent,apparently they will attack any other magpie that is not from the same area and can tell by the noise they make. Only know this as a mate of mine used to trap them in his garden and used them as bait in larsen traps to trap other magpies that were a nuisance at the pheasant shoot he was a member of.

algy Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm reliably informed that they all speak with a geordie accent hense the black & white strip they wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Perhaps they're all in prison for thieving?! Well never thought of that but it looks as if they just moved to a better area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
