Magpie/dero rambles
Yet another person going out of their way to go right up to the water dish and gawk⌠perhaps if I wrote âwildlife waterâ on the side? Or if I got a proper birdbath and put it more inside the property boundary. (Not sure whether I would have to remove it once I left though.) A bit worried about potential problems though. When he went up to it a magpie kind of flew up to him and hopped after him as he walked off. The other day someone else might have got swooped as he was loudly complaining about the birds being annoying and saying âX says some pr-ck in this area is f-cking feeding themâ. Now the birds were already here and would be regardless of whether I was kind to them. Plus there are a lot of sketchy randos cutting through the block and a lot of them act seriously alcohol affected/unpredictable so I donât really care about them getting swooped. I actually wouldnât mind if these disruptive people were deterred from my place. Iâm more just worried about stupid people having issues with the birds and me being blamed for it, or about being harassed to stop giving them water. People here are genuinely the type to do that. To come trying to intimidate you and start dictating what you do on your own property.

Are they going into your property or is it a common area? Any option to put the birdbath where the public canât access it?

Not sure public or private property. Iâm trying not to give doxable descriptions but it within easy reach of drop kicks and I might have to move it to a less ideal spot
