After about 30 minutes of arial bombardments, screeching, pecking, attacking and general birdy nastiness we have this left on the floor below the tree.
This was the result of a sustained attach by about 6 magpies and 3 crows over 30 minutes this evening. Clapping hands and throwing sticks to distract them did nothing.
I think the smaller nest was a blackbirds and the larger a pigeon but there were so many different birds flying around in the frenzy I really couldn’t tell. It was like one of those cheap American ‘Shark Attack!!!’ programs but in the air, for real and above my garden.
Could I suggest you go and watch a few of those documentaries by that nice Mr Attenborough? You seem to be unsure how this whole “nature” shit goes down.
Slated, just a bit slated?
I opened the thread when there was only a couple of replies & it was only going one way, kudos for going with it, it was never going to end well.
We had a lot of birds in the garden a few weeks ago – seems to be a few less now since the ****ing magpies turned up. Have seen a bit of aggro but nothing on quite the scale you’re describing there WCA. Maybe you live in the ornithological equivalent of the Bronx in the 1970’s 😳
