Chuck it out in the garden and let nature do whatever it wants. Maggies may be very pretty birds but they really are pests.
Try and find some young birds eggs, or young birds. Place them in the box with the Magpie. Those are its favourite things to eat.
Its no loss that the magpie might die,they are evil birds just as bad as crows,they pluck chicks from nests and are complete opportunists,they are essentially pests!![]()
Crows are incredibly intelligent, fascinating creatures. They are frequently observed solving complex puzzles whilst using and creating tools.

Dump it back out in the garden and let nature do the rest.... they are a pest.
I once witnessed 4-5 of them attacking a cat - and when I say attacking, they were temping it and actually pecking at it while it hid in a bush. I had to scare them away and calm the cat down. They do zero good to the food chain and usually steal smaller birds eggs before they get a chance to hatch.... Most people here would regard them as vermin anyway.
They are also responsible for scaring off smaller birds from your garden (Robins, sparrows etc) and pretty much descimate Bee populations if you have flowers or plants.
they are a disgusting creature and should be exterminated - they're no better than rats
what's wrong with rats?
some mean ppl here![]()
There is a "gang" of magpies that regularly dig up our lawn.... it makes a right mess, I am not too bothered they do this, they are only looking for food.
They are clever buggers though, if I chase them off, they fly off "calling out" as they go and land on the roof out of sight... then the cheeky sods come and have a look to see if I have gone!!! It makes me laugh everytime!
