Sparrow hawk catches Wood Pigeon and is then harassed by two Magpies
Magpies are pretty smart, whenever our local fox turns up for a snack you can be sure the magpies will appear within seconds, They know we put out foxy snacks and are determined to share his spoils, one gets behind and pecks foxy’s tail, when he turns around the second magpie dives in and steal some food
magpies care about the pigeon, but in this case, they do care about the bird of prey taking liberties in their back yard, crows and ravens, will regularly harass birds of pray, like owls and hawks if they come into their territory.
They will also try to steal their food by distracting them and pulling them by the tails, Crows and ravens even do this to foxes and wolves sometimes, but that’s a higher-stakes game.
Magpies want it for themselves, I saw how crow scared hawk when it was catching sparrow then when hawk gave up on it, crow searched for sparrow in the bushes.
