Control of Magpies
Magpies are generally found near livestock where they are able to feed on dung and carrion insects. They will also forage for insects and ticks on the back of livestock and domestic animals.
The most notorious magpie behaviour is the picking open wounds and scabs open on the back of livestock. They will often pick the open wound until the wound is opened more which eventually may cause the wound to become infected and in some cases will even kill the animal. Magpies can sometimes peck out the eyes of livestock that is sick or new-born.
Magpies will also steal from birds nests either eggs or hatchlings. This can affect bird populations especially in areas where the lack of bird habitat makes it difficult for the local bird population to recover. Magpies can are very destructive when it comes to poultry especially when the magpie parents are gathering food for the nesting season.
Magpies can congregate in family groups and roost in loose colonies.
