Are the common magpies in the countryside auspicious birds or pest birds?

Magpie scum scum, good things are coming", this is the old saying that the old people in the countryside often chanted to us children when they were children, and they are often seen in many film and television works, if the magpie is called at the door of the house early in the morning, it means that there is something good today, and it is very likely that there will be distinguished guests. Because the magpie has a good voice and likes to move in crowded places, the magpie was called "Angelo" and "auspicious bird" in ancient times, and when the magpie calls, people will be very happy. However, in the countryside nowadays, many people don't like magpies anymore.

Especially some farmer friends, when they hear the call of magpies, they have a headache. Why is that? Are the common magpies in the countryside auspicious birds or pest birds?

Now for farmers, the magpie is really a veritable pest bird. It often plagues the food grown by farmers, especially the fruit grown by farmers. The old king of the village gritted his teeth whenever he talked about magpies.

According to Lao Wang, the magpie has a very high IQ and often goes to harm the crops he grows. When planting corn, these magpies go to the field to peck at the corn seeds. In order to drive away the magpies, Lao Wang mixed some pesticides on the corn seeds, so that a few magpies ate them and then died of the medicine.

After that, the magpies did not come again, but after a while, when the corn had sprouted, the magpies came again. And not to mention the more numerous, they also deliberately pecked out all the corn that had sprouted, and then placed it on the side of the road one by one. It seems to be like the owner of the land is declaring that this is the consequence of harming them.

Magpies have a high IQ and are really vindictive. These animals are social and tend to move together and go out to forage together. Even the eagle soaring in the sky is afraid of the magpie, because the eagle fights alone, and the magpie is a group and very united, as long as one is hurt, it will attack it in groups, so the eagle does not dare to be the enemy of the magpie.

In addition, for fruit growers, the most feared animal is the magpie. This animal has a high IQ and is very picky about its tastes. When the fruit is ripe, they come to steal the fruit, and they specially select the largest, ripe fruit to eat.

Often, each fruit is pecked a few bites before moving on to other ripe fruits. Imagine if you encounter a flock of hundreds of magpies, the damage caused to the fruit is huge. As long as a fruit is pecked, it will not take long for it to spoil, and even if it is picked, it will not be sold.

In the past, farmers liked magpies, because at that time magpies generally did not harm the crops grown by farmers, because there were no pesticides at that time, so magpies had more abundant food. But now the magpie's food is relatively scarce, their taste has also changed, and the food they eat has changed from some insects in the past to grains, fruits, etc. In addition, there are fewer farmers in rural areas, and often a small number of people in a village farm land, and in this way, the number of magpies is more and the food is less, so it can only harm the farmers' grain.

In the countryside, the magpie is not a beneficial bird, auspicious bird, I think most people still prefer magpies, but for some fruit farmers, magpies may be a big pest, because magpies are more greedy, usually not only eat some insects, grasshoppers, beetles and other pests, it sometimes eats some crops and fruits.

Yes. Because for rural people, the magpie represents auspiciousness, can bring good luck, and it can also eat many pests in the field, but also to ensure the survival of the trees can clean the trees to remove pests in the trees, so for rural people the magpie is a beneficial bird.

In the eyes of the peasants, it is an auspicious bird, a bird of good news. But it is also a pest bird that can disrupt the growth of crops.

It's not easy to be a farmer and how to control nature. Relief.

Yesterday I saw a big magpie in my old love used to be in kindergarten.
