@jayeless I think the magpies only put on a show, so that Gidget will have something to be incensed about! Yesterday (caturday), I saw a magpie chasing after some great tits here. Luckily the great tits have been out a winter days before, so no steak for the magpie!
@odd It's true that the magpies are definitely not fans of Gidget either π If they see her outside, they squawk very aggressively. I don't think Australian magpies attack other birds, but they definitely do eat meat. Lots of insects, and anything they can convince humans to part with π
