If there are only magpies & nothing else as you say, which I doubt, then there won't be anything for them to eat so they will either move elsewhere or die. Your problem is solved, well part of it at least. I trust they do have shrinks in Brummie.

This sentiment would be understood by anyone with a respect for there surroundings don't get me wrong I hunt and fish but never with the intent to waste life if you don't have the intelligence to understand that in history the killing of animals which don't sit right within our wanted environment does not end well then please pick up a book and educate yourself try starting with a small critter called the buffalo and then make the same comment and at that point I can do away with politeness and just put your comments down to ignorance
Prove a Bronze Age story is just that? What a strange request.

Incidentally who were the two sorts of people when one bit of the Bible said that there wereonly one, "the Sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair." Genesis 6.2. The whole compendium falls apart under its own internal contradictions.
