Magpies, notorious for their territorial behaviour, frequently bully smaller birds such as robins and dominate gardens throughout Lincolnshire. For those passionate about sustaining tranquillity amidst their avian guests, a simple deterrent exists: suspension of a shiny object, for instance, an old CD. This works to deter magpies while not affecting the more docile robins. The reflection of light from these items can bewilder and dissuade magpies from overstaying their welcome, thereby maintaining our gardens as a welcoming refuge for all bird species.
