Ms Tilytinkle Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 tee heee bet they do make you laugh though Selective territorial chooks!! You've just reminded me, once our poor little cat was in the centre of 3 magpies, they were being really evil with her no matter which way she tried to move one of them would swoop towards her then fly up at the last minute. she was terrified. I eventually chased them but only after watching for another few mins in utter disbelief at what they were doing!!! Ms Tillyschookslikethegamewhenallhellbreaksloosejusttoscarethhelloutofme!!

Sara-W Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 My bluebelles will chase the magpies and jackdaws away but allow 2 ringneck doves (that are quite similar in colour!) to share food but if any of the chicks tried they would be chased away immediately!!
