Magpie harasses a ginger tabby cat to protect her offspring during nesting season

Why do magpies harass cats and do they retaliate?

PoC avatarPosted on October 20, 2021 by Michael BroadMay 30, 2022

Why do magpies harass cats? And why don’t the harassed cats retaliate by attacking the magpies (sometimes they do – see video below)? I am seeing videos of magpies, sometimes a single magpie or a couple, attacking a passive, sleepy … continue reading…
