The magpie known as the "Announcement Bird"

I don't know when I discovered that the magpies now have become black and white. I remember that when I was a child, the magpies were all gray and white, although they screamed It's not very pleasant to the ears, but it is found everywhere. The gray magpies are more often accompanied by sparrows, and the turtle doves are relatively rare. Magpies are known as the birds of good news among the people. The general public will not disturb their lives. Only ignorant children often raise their heads and look for bird's nests everywhere, or chase them with slingshots.

At that time, many rural families liked magpies to build their nests in their trees, hoping that magpies would bring good luck and good fortune to their families. He also taught the children at home again and again not to dismantle the magpie's nest no matter how naughty they were. However, with the changes in the ecological environment in recent years, there have been more and more magpies in our mountain villages in recent years. So much so that many villagers began to hate magpies. Why is this?

Why is it now the most hated by everyone?

There is actually a reason why magpies are hated by some farmers. This has to start with the food habits of magpies. The food habits of magpies are very diverse. We can often see magpies in parks, farmland and other places. Find food. The magpie's menu is very complex. The small ones include ants, locusts, beetles, flies, mosquitoes and other small insects. The larger ones will also eat chickens, snakes, eggs, bird eggs, etc. In addition to eating these insects and small animals, Magpies also eat various grains, such as corn, rice, soybeans, etc., as well as fruits, such as apples, watermelons, etc. It seems that the little magpie eats a very miscellaneous food. In addition to peanuts, there are beans and corn. They are often caught and eaten by magpies, so farmers usually have to replant them 2 to 3 times to replenish them. Resulting in irregular agricultural growth. Some are ripe early, but some have not yet bloomed and bear fruit, so they cannot be harvested at the same time. This results in low utilization rate of cultivated land.
