Yes, magpies are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 in the UK, which makes it illegal to kill or take them without a license. However, certain exemptions exist for controlling their populations in specific situations, such as to protect livestock or other wildlife. It's important to check local regulations and guidelines, as they can vary.

Can magpies be legally culled?

Magpies are protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981, in the United Kingdom. Not only is it illegal to kill the birds, it is also illegal to damage the nest and its contents.A license to control the birds may be granted when there is a risk to public health, air safety, serious damage to crops and for the conservation of endangered wild birds.Answer 2:Not in most of Canada and Australia they aren't! Except under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of Ontario, there are no restrictions on trapping, hunting or modifying habitat (i.e., destroying nests) in the area, especially if they are damaging crops and livestock. Magpies are an introduced species in Australia, which gives people there quite a bit of merit to do anything to control the population Down Under. The United States have magpies protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, but allow people, even without a federal permit, to control populations by trapping, shooting, modifying habitat or frightening them away.
