I must admit I was wondering about the funnels too. We've had no success after the first 3 magpies so I'm wondering what to do next. Was thinking about leaving the door open for them to wander in and out for a few days as you said before. I must admit my hearts starting to sink every morning seeing it empty Quote Link to post
