you can still have a healthy population of song birds and corvids there's no correlation between the numbers or crows / magpies and declines in songbirds on a national or even regional scale, its a debate we've had many times on WAB though and I'd hate to get into it again! I also suspect that most sepcies of game birds would survive as a population alongside corvids - though clearly not at the levels you require to support a shoot. So I do appreciate the need for control.
