Tuxedo birds

Possibly this? http://gamowhisper.com/

I seen one on RMGO for sale.

Disclaimer: I would never discharge any pellet rifle, sling shot, bow or real firearm in city limits at protected wildlife.

If you could dress 'em up like prairie dogs, I'm sure you could get a few fellers over willing to help take 'em out.

If you really want to go with a pellet gun...go all the way!

Seriously, I don't know about magpies. But our woodpeckers don't like a supersoaker with chili powder and old cheap perfume. We eventually just put bird houses over the holes in the house.

maybe one of those fake owls on the roof? those are supposed to scare away birds, no?

Which is why I'm not offering any suggestions.

Perhaps, like with me, their sense of self-preservation is stronger.

When I was a kid there was a bounty on them. They kill sheep by pecking out their eyes and going for the brain. If you took a right wing in to the sheriff they would give you money for them.

They are highly, highly intelligent, but they are a non native, destructive species that will push out virtually all other birds in the area. Personally, I'm glad to have not seen many for a couple years. Prior to West Nile the only freaking bird we had here was black and white. It should NOT be protected, damn progressives. I swear some of them seek to destroy the "environment" more than a guy wanting to do a nuke test in the Amazon, except they do it with a chip on their shoulder.

Lets pretend a friend of mine said kill the damn things. Just don't let anyone see you....

I've seen them chowing down on a hummingbirds nest before, and a few others. Guess the libs don't care about it as long as they don't have to see a person kill a "poor littl birdy".

That article lends doubt to whether the American/Korean/Eurasia magpies are the same species...

these two articles also state that the black billed magpie is native to North America and Canada...

apparently since they are not native to the east coast of the United States Florida is having problems with them now...
