Angela P Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Just heard a terrific commotion outside. I went to investigate and saw a magpie in our garden with a young blackbird in its beak, the parents going frantic around it. I chased it away and it dropped the bird but it was too late, it was dead. I have never seen this before, I knew that magpies took baby birds out of nests but not one of this size, it was almost full grown. sickening.

I have to say, something needs to be done about the magpie population. Lovely birds, but decimating the smaller wild bird population http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10985563&highlight=magpie#post10985563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmen. Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Is it necessary to swear? I'm sure there are ways to lend weight to one's views without it being necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
