This seems like a reasonable thing to do as the garden bird population does seem to be in decline compared to the rise in number of the magpies.
As John has demonstrated in the photo's of the beautiful birds he has in his garden his actions seem to be helping with the bird population.
What is it John ?
One for Sorrow, TWO for Joy ?
I'd never shoot a magpie because I didn't like it. How cruel are some people!
Well dont then,make up your own mind! The magpie population increase, is a result of bad management by the country bumpkins,and insufficient food resources in they're former,natural habitat,hence the move into urban area's! Much the same can be said of the fox population! Also,I've heard it said, somewhere, that we are reckoned to be more sophisticated,and even civilised!?? But that's probably just a rumour!
You seem very passionate about this subject Steve, do you belong to any conservation groups?
No,not at all! It's just one of my particular detestations,where, when confronted,you have to take a side!
I think Zappa is right about magpies, grays and in some areas foxes.But not killing them for 'sport'.
Magpies have to duck when I see them in my garden.They are a major pest as bad as seagulls and rats.
Duh...
Who said I don't like A-Z's ? Not me. Another silly statement me thinks.
Are you talking out yer bum again ?
Go and play!!!
The magpie population has increased through prolific breeding of the magpie. Nothing to do with humans.
I feed the foxes and never shoot them.
I repeat "I never kill for fun or for blood."
However if the foxes became such a pest then I would have no problem killing them.
Understandee englishee.
Keeping it real!

All that you are doing is promoting criminal behaviour. Typical. Foxhunting has been BANNED in this country, therefore it is a criminal act and all of the foxhunting fraternity are criminals.
Btw, I feed squirrels in my garden and the birdlife in my garden is thriving. They are squirrels that you will never get the chance to shoot
It is typical and arrogant to suggest that us 'humans' are the superior life form...What garbage. 'Our' life form is doing more to destroy the planet than every other life form put together. Man is responsible for global warming, the damage to the ozone layer, the destruction of the rainforests and also the extinction and possible extinction of animals. I can gladly say that I am ashamed of it...Let us not forget that it is 'our' species that has also produced serial killers, paedophiles and murderers...Not that intelligent are we?
I wouldn't get caught up in a slanging match wsteve55. you're banging your head against a brick wall...You know when somebody is losing an argument or doesn't have something constructive to say when they have to resort to insults...
Chrismarsden: Why do you suppose that people that care about animals don't care about humans? It isn't a competition. I think you will find that most (if not ALL) animal lovers despise cruelty to any life form.
It is Accomplished
Man is responsible for global warming? You'll be saying we created the Ice Age too.
