[Closed] It's not just the squirrels

After about 30 minutes of arial bombardments, screeching, pecking, attacking and general birdy nastiness we have this left on the floor below the tree.

This was the result of a sustained attach by about 6 magpies and 3 crows over 30 minutes this evening. Clapping hands and throwing sticks to distract them did nothing.

I think the smaller nest was a blackbirds and the larger a pigeon but there were so many different birds flying around in the frenzy I really couldn't tell. It was like one of those cheap American 'Shark Attack!!!' programs but in the air, for real and above my garden.

Maybe the squirrels were peacekeepers?

Could I suggest you go and watch a few of those documentaries by that nice Mr Attenborough? You seem to be unsure how this whole "nature" shit goes down.

I know just how the nature shit goes down 🙂

I just wanted to show my care-y share-y bunny hugging sad for all animals side.

I got a bit slated on another thread you may have seen.

Slated, just a bit slated?
I opened the thread when there was only a couple of replies & it was only going one way, kudos for going with it, it was never going to end well.

We had a lot of birds in the garden a few weeks ago - seems to be a few less now since the ****ing magpies turned up. Have seen a bit of aggro but nothing on quite the scale you’re describing there WCA. Maybe you live in the ornithological equivalent of the Bronx in the 1970’s 😳

Does anyone else see the woman from behind, wearing a thong with her arms raised in that Lion King still? 😲

Anyway, when you say

Maybe the squirrels were peacekeepers?

Has that trap done for them all already?

So next on your shopping list will be a Larsen trap?

I’ll look forward to that thread :facepalm:

Maybe you could go to a local woods and catch some squirrels and bring them back to your garden to restore the peace? 😂

You would have to buy another trap though! One that doesn't kill carrots!

I'm disappointed Mrs wca didn't film you in the garden being attacked by birds! I wouldn't be too bored to watch that!

I think you might need to go and  "knock out a mix" .... Wash your hands twice afterwards
