Help with trapping magpies!
Hello everybody!
So, I have a couple of magpies living in and around my garden and they're chasing all the other birds (or killing them). And because you can't just buy a Larsen trap in Belgium, I made my own. I placed it in the middle of the garden with some tin foil, dog food and some eggs, hoping they would notice it, but I think they don't. I don't want to use a dead animal, because it will smell bad, and the trap is pretty close to my house, and I need to catch a bird first, to use it as a call bird. Also, they didn't make their nest in my garden, so I can't just put my trap underneath their nest. Can someone give me any advice? Thanks!
