[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 970440, member: 18682"] Know someone years ago who used to make meat balls with rat poison in them for the magpies, and put it on roofs. Said it worked real well. The downside is like it was mentioned earlier might poison a pet or something. Have caught the odd nasty bird that was killing things by using a decent sized leg hold trap nailed to a roof or post with some bait under / near the pan. Now some people are going to scream cause it was a leg hold, but it worked, and the birds weren't too nice on how they dispatched their victims either. Problem is you can get the wrong bird in your trap, so "lead" is probably a better option. Of course our laws are different, and we have the livestock act and you can protect our livestock against predators, or at least most predators. I remember seeing huge wire mesh bird traps when I was young in the orchards with a Vee top and wire sides and wire door. worked pretty well. Most of the birds that got in never figured out how to fly straight up to get out, and once a few were in there it attracted others. Only a few ideas.. Nite Hawk [/QUOTE]
