Magpie troubles
Pauatahanui
Alex Dempster
In your August magazine I was drawn to the article on magpies. We had a dreadful problem with them and although shooting is one option they are exceedingly cunning and just seem to sense when you have gone to get a gun. The viciousness with which they attack native birds is saddening. In our area, tui are starting to make a comeback but only last week one was found dead following a magpie attack. Hopefully the installation of a trap in the area will make a difference. Thank you very much for a wonderfully encouraging article.
