Coypu Hunter 486 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) They seem to have bred like flies this year. At least 20 are forever screeching around our property and the neighbours'. Nicking the fatballs we put out for other birds, ripping up our neighbour's lettuces, generally squawking about and making a helluva racket. Even found a fledgling blackbird with its eyes pecked out, just for fun, apparently. Time for some attitude adjustment... more to follow...

The one 8,598 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 There does seem a lot of the winged vermin about result of the mild winter letting them nest early Quote Link to post
ezi bez 5 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi mate, I do alot of trapping and have caught 73 magpies this year up to now . Sounds like you need a couple of larson traps and a couple of call birds. You'll soon have them caught up and dispatched. If you cant get a call bird, use eggs in trap. Hope this helps . Atb ezi.
