Are magpies common in the countryside auspicious birds or pest birds? Magpie, is a common bird in the countryside, in folklore is also known as "auspicious bird", will feel that the magpie will come will produce good luck, if you rush to their own house yard when they land, will produce all the good or good things! However, with so many years, the total number of magpies in the countryside has become more and more numerous, and it has also become another major "pest bird" after the sparrow bird, and there will be certain adverse harms for farmers to cultivate the fields!
At this stage, due to the huge total number of magpies, they should not be small animals included in the maintenance level in China, but because they belong to the "three animals", they are still belonging to the wild animals and plants that are beneficial to China to maintain or have a certain value for economic development and scientific research. In addition, because magpies are an auspicious bird in traditional customs and customs, they will symbolize joy, harmony, and good intentions, if farmers actively hunt them, they may feel that they will have bad luck, so very few farmers will actively hunt them! However, in modern agricultural production and manufacturing, the level of magpies' "pest birds" is becoming more and more rampant and blatant, so that many farmers only have to adopt some countermeasures to prevent it.
Magpies harm all normal production and manufacturing in agriculture: If you walk in the countryside, you can find that many fields also have a lot of magpie gathering theme activities to find food, they will peck at the food crops and the seeds of the newly planted food crops in the field, sometimes it will cause farmers to repeatedly replenish seeds or limit production, and for some growers, magpies will also peck at fresh fruits, especially some fresh fruits, because the magpies peck at a loan opening and cause the fresh fruits to rot or sell at a good price!
Magpies will also peck at raw eggs: magpies may be too close to people, sometimes they will be insatiable, they will take advantage of the farmer's absence and go into the farmer's home to find food, for example, some farmers will raise loose chickens, they will stare at this hen to lay eggs, once the old hen leaves will peck the egg shell and swallow, if one or two magpies often arrive and there is a love, after all, the magpie is an omnivorous bird, improving it will not harm the damage of the farmer, but because the magpie and the sparrow bird like the group activities, usually will lead to orders of magnitude damage, As a result, farmers nowadays get tired of sparrows and magpies!
Magpies especially love to bark at night: because my family is in the southwest of the village, there will be a large area of poplar forest outside the courtyard, there will be a lot of magpie nests in the trees, sometimes at night until 11 o'clock, a group of magpies will be heard in front of the window constantly chirping, if the sexual nerves are sensitive to us in such conditions is difficult to sleep, do not know the big winter, they have nothing to call at night!
However, because the magpie will tend to be an auspicious bird in the hearts of farmers, although it will also endanger some of the daily life and agricultural theme activities of farmers, many people do not positively affect their survival, and can only use some methods to evict or passively adopt preventive measures! As for why magpies have increased in recent years, I feel that on the one hand, the total number of magpies in the countryside is very large, on the other hand, the changes in people's modern agricultural production process, especially the many applications of chemical fertilizers, have promoted the infestation in the field to become lower and lower, so that they can further reduce the indoor space for food, so they can only go to farmers' homes to find food! Therefore, the magpie is still a beneficial bird and auspicious bird, and its "pest bird" brand image is actually caused by the expansion or change of our own theme activity area, it should be that everyone actively harms them first, prompting the birds to be forced to compete with everyone for the living environment! In these respects, I feel that it is appropriate and effective for everyone to reflect on their personal behavior! Above is a personal opinion only!
