Don't shot birds just because they eat fallen baby bird, it's nature and this happens every day, nature keep balance by itself ^^'

@ShadowriverUB You forget we too are a big part of nature & completely responsible for the increasing numbers of certain species resulting from mass farming/feed stores & the dirty lazy living habits of many people which causes rats/mice/pigeon/ to breed to the point of desease spread & major financial loss so are classed as pests,magpies/crows will happily peck out the eyes of new born lambs/calves & decimate the egss/chicks of protected & rare birds so hence they are also classed as a pest.

@ARCEYE78 maybe in your country ^^'

[ARCEYE78]

@ShadowriverUB No not maybe its a FACT and your country will also have its fair share of pests but will be controlled how your government see fit, poison / traps ect,some protected species of bird in England like the blackbird are a pest in countries like the USA, this is life!! not some fluffy fairytale where everything is perfect and all run silky smooth but im sure you know this already right LOL!!

Shadowriver is spot-on about magpies in North America. I've seen it, myself. They are downright vicious and even the unprotected crow, once a serious pest, never had the gall to attack calves, lambs and poultry, the way magpies do. They flat gang upon and kill grown chickens! U.S. wildlife laws are often quite skewed as to what species to protect, not protect or even just regulate, such as the crow. Ravens are fully protected by law and nowhere near threatened, let alone, endangered.

Meanwhile, ravens annihilate up to 90 percent of the hatch of the critically endangered desert tortoise hatchlings! Non-natives such as starlings, English sparrows and European rock doves go unprotected, while the invasive and destructive African cattle egret, get full protection. Yes, it's typical gubment mentality!

Weak flyer. Maybe even sick for being abandoned by parents. I see young starlings, fully feathered and expert flyers, STILL folowing their parents, learning survival skills, learning to find food, et cetera, yet, when needing that added assurance, waggle their wings and cry, and Mom or Dad will run over and feed it. This only goes to show that like gamebirds, starlings are among the BEST parents in the bird world and this is part of their great success as a species.

them bastards of magpies and greycrows crows ravins etc need to be kept under control so anyone who just says "its just nature it" is us as humans that make magpies numbers rise so therefore its our job to control them

[ShadowriverUB]

That chick would die there anyway, if not by beak of magpie then by cat or other animal higher in ladder.

@ARCEYE78 why you so nervice just because i said "maybe"? i don't know your law, so i won't say "it is".
