What to Do If Magpies Eat Corn Seedlings? A Few Practical Control Methods

When it comes to corn, many of us should be fairly familiar with it. Corn is a relatively common crop in our country, and it can be said that corn is grown in many regions of our country, especially in some northern regions where growing corn is very common. But when the corn seedlings have just sprouted, there will be situations where small birds steal and eat the corn seedlings. So what should be done if magpies eat corn seedlings?

2. Where conditions allow, you can record the alarmed cries of birds, and play them when magpies fly over to peck at the corn seedlings, using the recording to drive them away

3. The traditional scarecrow. Magpies are relatively intelligent, so this method works the first time but quickly stops working

4. Setting off firecrackers. This method is effective, but costs more
