MAGPIES REMOVAL CALGARY
CALGARY MAGPIE CONTROL
The black-billed magpie is a member of the crow family. This bird has distinctive black and white plumage, with a long graduated tail. It is about the size of a crow. Not being a migratory bird, it is not protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act. Because it can be a pest and it is not an endangered species this bird is not protected under the Alberta Wildlife Act. Magpies build large, untidy stick nests which look like two crows’ nests one on top of the other. Magpies breeding starts in early April. This bird lays 5 to 8 eggs per clutch and one clutch per year. Shelterbelts are their favorite nesting locations, although nests may be found in low trees in pastures. Magpies are usually present all year. During severe winter conditions they may migrate to warmer locations. In the winter, the birds will frequently move to areas of more abundant food supplies.
