Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Chickabee]

Today I found some magpie feathers in my ex bats covered run. They're quite feisty my girls, do you think they would have turned on the magpie ?

If they are territorial and possessive of their food, then yes no question. I saw my first lot of six chase after seagulls who dared to venture near. Now I have 34 they can't be bothered and last yr had 18 pigeons scratch around for corn amongst them and girls nonplused?? This year changed tactics and hardly any. Depends how mad your girls get about sharing...

Good I think they would be territorial I don't like magpies

I have a few magpies that try to steal from the girls. At first they looked rather puzzled at this big flying thing, but they have now figured out that these things actually eat stuff that you could have been eating!!! They are not going to allow such nonsense!

They now chase any bird out of the garden!
