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 ‘wildlife water’ 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 ‘X says some pr-ck in this area is f-cking feeding them’. 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 don’t really care about them getting swooped. I actually wouldn’t mind if these disruptive people were deterred from my place. I’m 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.
