| Re: what do magpies like to eat appart from baby birds
Magpies also like to eat dog excrement ... they perform a useful clean up service .... My neighbour's opinion on magpies was raised significantly when she discovered that information ...
It is a combination of reasons why magpies have moved into towns and cities in big numbers ... our takeaway waste on the streets, plus the aforementioned additional food resource giving easy pickings and allowing high densities, and because the trees planted by the Victorians in our cities are now mature and provide an excellent nesting habitat. |
