A Pair of Magpies

[Cancerape]

wish I had my air rifle......magpies dont last 5 mins where I live

[TheMonochromeBird]

@Cancerape How ballsy of you.

[Cancerape]

@TheMonochromeBird yeh I know lol, what is really funny is when you hit one of a pair and its mate is getting all pissed off about it.....always makes me chuckle

[TheMonochromeBird]

@Cancerape Cool story, bro. Tell me when you tackle a cat and I might give you a sticker. At least use a proper gun and not some little toy that kids use.

[Cancerape]

@TheMonochromeBird you seem......upset

[TheMonochromeBird]

@Cancerape Questioning my emotions through online comments isn't a reasonable retort, good sir. It only underlines your own feelings towards my comments. Seriously though, buy an actual hunting rifle if you're going to brag about bird hunting. Next you'll be telling me you terrorize children with water pistols.

[Cancerape]

@TheMonochromeBird I do actually own a shotgun, but using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut isn't my idea of good sport.....PCP air rifles are the perfect weapon for small quarry such as birds and other pests, even if in your eyes they are only "toys", however the shotgun is the only choice for taking things out in flight.

Also, I prefer to terrorize children by leaving broken bottles hidden in sandpits.

Notice the Magpie looking for spiders under the streetlight. Very crafty birds. :-)

[ThePianoStudio]

Beautiful birds!....It looks like they will stick together too. It's clear they are life mates.

[kclama]

Poor two, but great capture here.

Its just nature ! Magpies can be equally as destructive I've seen them take fledglings ! Thank you Menu your very observant ! Love Mo xx

[cazzyweb]

Oh how sad...poor things...nature can be cruel - and difficult for us to understand at times x

[NaturesBeatingHearts]

I love all birds, but does crows i don't know they just destroy things.

We have had a nest from sparrows i think you call them, year after year they came to us.

A year ago there were this crows and destroyed the nest, there were already young sparrows in it.One of the crows had a little one in his mouth.

Since then the sparrows are gone.

[JODIMAR45]

Yes and magpies will also take other birds eggs and their young!

[ShadowriverUB]

@JODIMAR45 even other magpie eggs! But they simply higher in food chain and not even on top, they can be killed by eagle birds. They very protective themselves :) they try to attack everything come near there nest even if guest don't have bad intentions.
