Sounds like you have a bit of a bias for the cute and small, despite the fact crows and magpies have just as much a right to survive how they can. If that involves prey animals, so be it. Don't forget, blue tits do a lot of killing too. It's just their prey is not commonly considered aesthetically pleasing. |
