    probably legally dubious?

    As far as I know, even giving them away is illegal.

    It's been a few years since I've looked at the legislation in question though, so I could be wrong.

    not only illegal but disgracefull what kind of money hungry f;cker is trapping and selling magpies just for the record i dont agree with the sale of any quarry or game, including fish. its a sport and a privalige, when money and personal financial gain is involved all sense and respect eventually goes out the window,,, just look at dog breeds and dog breeding.. :mad:

    Are they protected now, and as such fall under section 45 of the 1976 Act.

    Meaning no selling, trading, etc of wild birds unless done under a license issued by the NPWS or other relevant department.

    whats your opinion on this? If someone wanted a call bird I would just give it to them

    I think it's poor form selling them, if you give one away, you'll always get one in return.

    Meh , not saying yr wrong but sounds a bit elitist (+, if yr troubled by magpies how do you get yr first one for the Larsen trap...) , are magpies not classed as a pest same as crows...

    Under the derogations to the Birds Directive they can be trapped and shot if causing damage, the same as certain crow and pigeon species.

    I don't think so. I think he is spot on.


    Plus it's illegal. Simple as really. So all opinions or morals go out the window. It's not allowed.

    I keep birds myself
    You can only sell these birds unless aviary bred and must be closed rung
    with the correct size ring.
