Chickabee Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I have had magpies going into my cat/ Quail stable for months. I thought there was no food available for them. However, today I filled up my cat food container and secured the lid. The first time I returned I thought I hadn’t secured it properly. It’s hard to undo.The second time it was undone again. The magpies are more clever than me, they can undo it, I don’t know how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarelis Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Corvids are ridiculously intelligent, I watched a program some time ago where they set them various tasks and puzzles - they sussed each one out in no time. There was even footage of wild crows dropping walnuts onto pedestrian crossings, they let the cars run over them to crack them and when the lights changed and traffic stopped swooped down to eat the nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 I too have seen these programmes, but I find it difficult to open this plastic container. It was opened twice, I was amazed, almost to the extent that, they deserved it. Wish I had a camera in there. Perhaps that’s my new project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarelis Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 We recently got cctv after a vehicle was damaged outside our house, I mainly use it to spy on my cats and check for foxes lol (oh and see who's at the door when I can't be "Ooops, word censored!"d to get up!)

The Dogmother Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 A gamekeeper friend's son has a tame jackdaw, which he has had since a chick; it is amazingly bright and can do loads of tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
