Had a larson trap two years ago, was after catchin about 16 magpies when my dog managed to kill the call bird somehow, think he gave it a heart attack, I just put some tin cans with a small bit of dog food in the trap, worked a charm

Anyone ever have trouble with magpies or grey crows taking eggs? I have with magpies, not greys though.
Cheeky they are.
Just wondering did anyone have same problem???

yeh a magpie was going into my chicken house and making holes in almost all of the eggs but i thought it was the hens doing it until i saw a dirty magpie fly out of the henhouse when i walked over to it!
