Damn Magpies

Rikki

I live in a rural area and the farmers do go round with shotguns shooting the magpies in their nests.

Totally agree, Elle. We miss hearing birds since we moved from a more rural location to living in a built up area with no trees and no birds - just cats and kids!

Because the magpies probably ripped all the chicks to pieces to feed to their own young ?

I'm not surprised, they're evil creatures that peck the eyes out of new born lambs :mad:

And they drive their little magpie cars too fast and are responsible for increased cost of living, global warming and cancer. Little b*ggers.

:rotfl: I don't object to people finding magpies or pigeons irritating. In fact I can sympathise. It must be annoying to get woken up, hence the earplug suggestion (and I thought I was being helpful :rolleyes: )
What I do obejct to is infantile comments about shotguns and other equally painful methods. They may be irritating, but that doesn't give you the right to kill them. It may be have been tongue in cheek, but I stand by what I said.
Lots of things annoy me sometimes - dog cr*p from irresponsible owners (shall we kills all the dogs?), people that walk slowly in supermarkets and stop in the middle of aisles (shall we stick a shotgun up their backside to chivvy them along a little)

This has to win the prize for the funniest post i have read in a long while, the thought of some old dear being "chivvied" along with a shotgun pressed against her !!!!!! cheeks. Top post LOL..... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
