Just had to chase 5 magpies away from the pigs run. They were on top and trying to get in at the sides. I know they can't get in but I still dashed out to save my piggie boys.
They were both fast asleep, croissant style, in their pigloos

My little jet black boar used to attract magpies too Fernie . I wondered if it was the metal of the bars that lured them.
He used to squeeze himself between the housie and the bars (daft beggar) or croissant in the middle of the run with GP1 on guard.
You think if you keep foxes, cats, birds of prey and adders away that you're doing well. Then the magpies romp in

My NDN cat had a huge abscess on his face, their vet reckoned he'd been attacked by magpies that were attracted to his silver collar medallion.
So if they'd attack a cat, they'd think nothing of attacking a guinea
