Catching Your First Magpie 

I had a three storey rabbit hutch which I used to leave open for the rabbit to come and go at will. I wondered why he stopped using it....2 days later I went outside and found a Magpie had gone in and ascended the two sets of stairs right to the top where the food was, next day there were two up there feeding. My Patterdale puppy immediately saw her opportunity, she followed the birds up the stairs and within the blink of an eye both were dead. The rabbit never returned to his mansion but chose to live under an old hay trailer in the field, every morning he came through the cat flap for a biscuit, the Patterdale and he were friends, he lived to be age 7.

Interesting. So this upload is to promote the capture of Corvids? Why? The narrator mentions doing so in Spring; what, when they are about to breed or already have eggs or young in the nest? Are Corvids not protected by Law, and in the case allowed for certain exceptions, why are Carrion Crows or Magpies the target? When did the UK ever have an over-population of them, when did anyone ever see them in great flocks doing enormous damage to any form of farming? What about Jackdaws, Jays or Rooks, are they exempt for some peculiar reason? Yes, Corvids take all forms of eggs and chicks, but so do many other birds and animals. What happens when you get your first captured bird, and the next and so forth, do you just wring their neck with impunity? Two minutes of this promotional nature can sponsor a lot of harm and suffering, and that aside, none of the above queries are addressed in this very strange upload. Thank you.

can I keep one as a pet
