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

Thats where the title came from mashy
Last year I left the carcasses along the fenceline, hoping to discourage them.
Doesn't work.

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...

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.

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:Me]

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

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!
