I nearly joined them a month ago, a magpie raided a chaffinch nest in next doors garden, in the space of 30 minutes it ate all the chicks. Magpies can eat any old crap and if they flew a few hundred yards they could find a lot of road kill fruit and seeds but they do what they do.

Instead of 6 of these in the garden

I occasionally have one of these ugly squawking gits

I was tempted to buy a rifle but really thats life and shooting magpies is illegal here (dunno why)

Magpies, much like Crows and Blue Jays (they are related), are just mean bastards.

You could always consider a BB gun or pellet rifle and pepper their ass mext time they consider invading a nest. They are incredibly smart, though, and will quickly figure out that they are being shot at and will change their tactics accordingly.

Just paint an eye of a hawk or eagle somewhere these smart bastards can see it or notice. It should help because birds are afraid of their predatory cousins hunting at their vicinity. A such trick works and was tried at the naval airfields because of trubles with seagulls that hit our planes very often. It appears that birds can notice another bird form far away and identify its kind just by the iris colour and shape of eye. So the "eyes" of birds of prey that are typical particularly for the coast area were painted on the front of fuselages. When these eyes have been applied the number of collisions with birds decreased significantly,

The naval TS-11 Iskra and MiG-21 ...

Sh!t sucking anti-police protesters in Ferguson and else where when there is no uproar when a slime pig kills a police officer. Local scumbags blocked streets today suggesting that funding for law enforcement be redirected to turd eaters. If you don't like the police, don't call them for help.

I am so sorry to hear that, Tomo

These terrorists are nothing but cowards, killing good people for no reason

 

[at6]

So sorry to hear that Tomo. My condolences to his family and your nation. Islamists are nothing more than vermin scum.

 

[Airframes]

Sorry to hear that terrible news Tomo. Cowardly bullies, lead by jumped-up maniac pond-life - and breathing our air, tw@ts !

 

[at6]

Unfortunately we have many of the same scum loose in our country and we can't hunt them like the rats that they are.

Took my Canberra outside to photograph for my finished thread, managed to hook my camera strap on it and damaged the undercarriage, then managed to delete some of the pictures from my camera !

Oops Karl...

Fence, what fence, there ain't no stinkin fence. Just walk or swim.

Ah, computers ! I'm sure life was much simpler, and quicker, when we all just used pen and paper, and manual systems !
Sorry to hear about the 'Cranberry' Karl - hope you get it sorted.

True. It wasn't helped by the continual go to this line go to that line and the hopelessness of the fingerprint scanners...

Close your eyes and think way back to a different time...

A time where the world was innocent, car designs were horrible, Roger Moore was 007, Abba was at the top of the music charts, Polyester suits were the rage and the Computer companies were telling us that life will be much easier and far less complicated with computers...

I rather go back to the 50's, good music, great cars, decent trains, lovely birds....

Woke up this morning feeling like I've been hit by a freight train, bug of some sort...

It's a good thing, that I've got all the help that I need...
