spilldig Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Magpies are tough buggers. My bet is on them to win but keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyboy Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Magpies are tough buggers. My bet is on them to win but keep us posted. We've gone through the same every year with accompanying racket. The crows always win in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Can I be a pedant and say that Magpies are crows? I'd be interested to know the outcome of this; Magpie nest are quite distinct from Carrion Crow nests. They're a lot deeper.

markfor Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) They are still at it! Crows stay on nest then fly off and then magpies return and jump into nest!

Berberis Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Magpies are not crows They are members of crow family Corvidae I think you are wrong here. check out the RSPB link I provided. Magpies are a member of the Corvidae (crow) family. Using the word crow you are not describing a bird, but rather the birds family. I suspect what you mean by crow is either the carrion crow or the Rook. Saying crow can mean, Magpie, Jay, Jackdaw etc etc. Edited April 2, 2016 by Berberis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
