Daisy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I fed the dogs this morninga nd let them all out then went inside to finish getting ready for work. When I went back outside there was a lot of magpie screeching and swooping, and I realised there was a dead young magpie on the ground. It wasn't there earlier, I think one of the dogs must have got it I was surprised as they have never caught a bird before. They were just sniffing it gently, but it had a small hole with some entrails coming out, so it musthave been one ofthe dogs. I suspect whoever caught it probably got quite a surprise. Only problem was that mama and papa magpie were screeching and swooping, so I had to get my son to come out with me and fend them off while I removed the poor dead baby and put the dogs in their runs. I have not had any trouble with maggies swooping in our backyard before, guess they were just trying to protect the baby Sorry maggie baby, RIP.

Benji's Mum Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 How awful. Yesterday I noticed the neighbour's JRTxShih tzu pup had a magpie and the parents were screaming desperately, but by the time I got the neighbours from their front step to the backyard, the little bugger had ripped it to shreds and was tossing the bits joyfully in the air. Not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
