First Magpie of the season:woohoo:
40mtrs Gamo slug gun, First shot this year.
(4 last year for me. 4 for kanny).
I can;t stand the the lil Aussie bleeders.:angry:

[Katman]

I hope they shit on your Weetbix.

[tri boy]

I hope they shit on your Weetbix.

Their shit I can handle.
Their overbearing attitude towards the natives rips my tits.
(they bludgeon fantails, and skewer them with their beaks).

But your also an overbearing sticky beak, so I can understand your support for them:motu:

I've seen them gang up on Tuis and Wood pigeons. We should have a yearly shoot for magpies like the bunny shoot.

...i thought we did...

[Road kill]

I like them "they wake me up with their doodle doodle song every morning.

They eat the grass grubs,,an they don't fuck with the tui or the pigeons other than during the breeding season and then the tuis give as good as they get anyway.

I know that because I watch them in my front yard and down the back gully every day.

Magies are cool,,pissants with slug guns and bull shit excuses are not.

[Laava]

I used to have a magpie distress tape. That used to bring the little fuckers in! On the other side it was a mynah distress. Problem was it was fuckin horrible to listen to and as much as I was happy to shoot them, i don,t want to listen to the friggen noise.

But yeah, them and possums, shickchickBANG!

[Maha]

They are cool birds, nothing like a cool sunlite morning with the sound of a magpie calling.

Have come across a couple kept as pets,clever little buggers.Must ave been about 4 years old and walking through the Culverdun domain with the old man when one decided we to close for his liking so he had a go at us,nasty little bugger.

[Paul in NZ]

Def not cool birds... They can be very hostile during the breeding season and wont be relocated. Our school was plagued with the fuckin things a while back - made the kids lives a misery...

We have had a few issues in our wee gully as well - not all of them seem to go mental but every now and then you get a particularly cranky one that needs taking care of...

Christ - I put up with a psychotic Pukeko attacking me (relocated it several times) but magpies - nah....

[sugilite]

They go after hawks too, I live out rural in a totara forest (yes really) and the hawk/magpie battles are fascinating. Sometimes I do feel sorry for the hawks as the maggies have got air superiority with their superior maneuverability. But if a hawk gets it's talons in and gets the magpie to the ground, it's all over for maggie. They often get into stalemates with a hawk staying on the ground and a maggie close by on a tree branch with both going "come on then prick" at each other

[Zedder]

...i thought we did...

There's a yearly magpie shoot? Where?

[Coolz]

Had a stupid girlfriend once who started feeding the magpies until she found out that if she walked outside with no food they would all divebomb her!

They are very smart. Aim a stick at them like a gun and they just laugh at you but go outside with a real gun and they are gone before you can raise it to your shoulder!

I've watched Magpies hassle a Falcon as well ... the Falcon was just drifting along when the Magpies attacked .. the Falcon put up with it for a coupel of seconds, turned in mid-air and suddenly there was a splash of feathers and a black and white bird spiralling towards the ground very dead .. and two other Magpies off at a great rate of knotts ..

[neels]

Imported pests. Shoot them, shoot them all.

Bwhahahaha ... E katakata ana ahau ... we tried that back in the 1800s ... and the white pests are still here ... why do you think that will work on birds?

I'm seriously jealous you have seen a falcon, they are rare! Yeah, the maggies probably thought they had come across a lumbering hawk, opps!

Yeah, coz you lot had been here for thousands of years, hadn't you?:laugh:






















Shit, the Magpies are more indigenous than Maori...

yeah but like with KB you lot were inconsistent, most married the pests and the rest traded with them for the muskets to kill the others with. Shit they even invited them to live next to the Pa for protection. :gob:

The magpies are trained by the extreme religious sects I tell ya!

[Banditbandit]

I've seen them in the Tararua Ranges, in the Blenheim area ... in the Orongarongas .. but if you seriously want to see them in the North Island there's a very healthy population in the Kaweka Ranges and surrounding farmland. I used to live clsoe to the Kaweka Ranges and the Falcons came and stole our chickens (baby birds, not tha adults)

heh... great movie. I can't kill anything unless I intend to eat it as a rule. I can understand why they're seen as pests though.

Simple. Get a remote speaker that you can put away from you.
A mate has his set up so that the speakers are right near the place he wants the maggies to land and from a hidden spot "fwuuuut" (use subsonics...).

[ducatilover]

Might take some pot shots with the SKS. Tracers are pretty.

Fuck magpies (no, no, you sick buggers)

[scumdog]

.17 is 'good' for magpies - and reasonably safe too.

Has anybody tried eating one?? Just wondering, it they're tasty I'd go for head-shots.

Yeah I like waiting for them to line up on the top wire of a fence and see how many I can kill with one shot from my .17HMR. So far I can't get more than two. Still trying for the magic three :Punk::shifty:

[tri boy]

Not much meat on them scummy.
The farmers jack russel seems to like tearing em to bits though.
As for the dick who thinks i'm a pissant because i shoot a species that are now classed as a pest, (like most forms of butcher birds), go outside and appreciate any native birds you see, cause they are quickly disappearing, even out rural areas like my stomping ground.
Every kid should get a slug gun, and the image of a magpie given to them on their tenth birthday.

The local Kahu, (swamp hawkes) can easily fend the maggies off.
Its the fantail, kingfisher, etc that I worry about.

Cats need culling too................

[Road kill]

Imported pests. Shoot them, shoot them all.

Actually their not imports "their blow in's from Australia some time druing the 60's just like the Plovers during the 70's and more resently the Pelicans on the Kaipara.

If your really keen on getting rid of some resent imports take a look at 40% of the human population in Auckland "forecast to be somewhere between 60% and 80% in 20 years time.

And their coming to a town near you any day now.

Kiwi's are endangered in more ways than one.<_<

[mashman]

Agreed. They make a great Chinese so I'm told.

[Road kill]

Bugger Google !

I thought Magpies were blow in's like the Kaipara Pelicans but it seems they were introduced during the 1860's,,,which pretty much makes them Kiwi's just the like the Poms,Irish,Chinese,saffas,Possums weasels,stouts,deer,goats,pigs,sheep,cattle ect ect ect ect.

Guess it just doesn't pay to become unpopular in this country huh.:crazy:

in the 60's and 70's I never saw magpies south of Christchurch, now they are everywhere.

And so far I haven't seen mynhas (sp) in the South Island, hopefully our climate keeps pests bothe animal and human from moving here...

First time I ever saw them was in 1970 in Levin,,,but "Google" say's they were moved about the country by some gov't dep't because they eat Grass grubs.
