mi find this online article called Problem Magpies in Calgary, but is really an FAQ by a professor from the University of Alberta. it funny no hell, but u might get some useful tips from it.

Excerpts:

<span style="font-weight: bold">Are magpies predators? </span>

To some extent they are. So are Blue Jays. So are Robins and Chickadees -- from a bug's point of view. Big guys eat little guys in this world. Even Bambi eats the birds out of a nest if he can find them. And of course man is the ultimate predator.


<span style="font-weight: bold"> Why do I get so many magpies?</span>

You or your neighbours are providing them with food - dog food, cat food, stuff in an open composter, suet hung for other birds, kids' sandwiches left in the yard or the cookie they dropped in the sand, the half-eaten McDonalds burger and fries dumped in a nearby parking lot or on the road, open dumpsters or garbage bags from which they can eat. Lots of things.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Is it legal to kill magpies? </span>

A lot of things may be legal - the question is &quot;is it right to kill a magpie?&quot;.

nuff black ppl live out in Nova Scotia. Halifax is something like 30 or 40% black due to the influence of the underground railway.

plus JA is just a short boat ride away from the tip of the maritimes

Re: Newfie joke mi hear dis mawning

First off barosa tek this bout people in Alberta bungle up like eskimo, I live out West and Fall is the best time of year....so refreshing.

Yes Nylah, Nova Scotia is like a breath of fresh air, I used to spend my Summers out there as a kind, real fond memories.

Milo tek this Nova Scotians are not Newfie, Newfie are from Newfoundland but it is true Scotians and Newfies are really lovely people. Never met a Scotian or Newfie I did not like.

Eva!! just wait!! this time next year you will be singing a different song saying I love this time of year. The African Lady that was giving you dirty looks she juss a jelus heiffer cause she prolly have on wig or weave and you have yu real hair (locs) flowing.

Surprised you cannot get Beta Pack curry I can get it, but only in the one likkle Asian store in my town. Me never know you like Screech me brought back couple bottle from Scotia for my step-dad but it done now

Anyway Eva, if you dont like it in Cow Tung Berta you can always move to BC where I am, especially as how you can cook curry goat and <span style="font-weight: bold">oxtail</span> and you dog them would have plenty wide open space to roam around lawd me juss remember something...neway

Rember the Olympics will soon be here so cant wait

Agreed

I have a conference in 2011 that will be held in Nova Scotia and I cannot wait. The martimes are truly one of the prettiest spots in all of Canada. Even if they talk funny out there
