Who here actually supports Western Suburbs in the KOE NSW Cup?

[Rock Hopper Steve]

I used to have one down the road that would swoop me every spring, we had a bit of a battle going. Sadly he was hit by a car a couple of years ago.

Never been swooped up here at Caves, leave the whole meal crusts broken up for all varieties of birds to eat including maggies, the young ones wow they make a racket glad when they go to someone else's backyard, might be right what RBS said about them remembering kindness.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Any ranger would tell you not to feed wild fauna
One of the reasons people feed them food that’s not good for them

White bread is bad for birds, whole meal OK in moderation.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Thats not good,fortunately my kookaburra family still perch near me and even better all the cockatoos have disappeared since the moron who lived below me moved and stopped feeding them.

Lots of Kookaburra's up here mate but funnily enough you mainly see them when it's raining sitting on the clothesline looking at the ground for a meal.

I have an insectovore rearing mix that feed the Magpies irregularly as a treat. I also carry some on walks to befriend any bird whose territory I may walk through.
If you feed them a bit of oats or nuts that also won't do them any harm.
I also talk to any Magpie I encounter on walks. They're bloody smart birds and they can sense intent.

Yes I'm a bit of a Magpie weirdo.

I've never met a Magpie that wasn't a good bloke, human and winged included.
The magpie that hangs around my backyard with his family can bark like the dog next door. Bloody brilliant they are.

rats of the airways.

Who knew this thread would turn into a Ranger Stacey show.

Yes rats are also very intelligent animals.

Don't look to closely mate they can hypnotize.

Was it hard for you to get the guts & feathers out of the front grill?

They’ve only moved about 300 yards down the paddock but I don’t get to watch them in the morning sitting on a limb scanning the lawn for worms
And the Maggie’s try and fight the windows early morning

Should have stopped kicking the footy into their trees

Hitting golf balls Into trees and then the golf club went after it ......had my sand wedge sit in a tree for months that I was infamous for on the 3rd hole

Ideally all proper NRL / NSW comp teams are Wests Tigers,

I dont mind if our Reserve grades are called Magpies.

I think it’s time that we go by Wests Tigers in NSW cup. We did for a brief period but went back to Magpies in 2018 I think. Majority of the NSW cup teams have the same name as their first grade side, it feels odd being one of the few that don’t. Hell even non NSW teams are going under the same banner as their first grade side. TBH we probably should have been Wests Tigers in reserve grade when we merged but I guess it was to please both Balmain and Magpies since it was still fresh at the time.

Lost me when they became wests again , this can only divide supporters rather than bringing us together

I think you mean Magpies rather than Wests.They should be labelled as WT same as first grade.

Here are the List of Clubs that are Token as they dont have NRL representation.

Bears, Jets, Workers and Magpies


Missing Brands appear to be Wests Tigers, Manly, Cronulla and someone else.

My Pref is Tigers as the next generation will be more engaged especially as we improve, but I can live with magpies for now.
