Alberta, or at least Edmonton, does not have raccoons. In the absence of “Trash Pandas”, they have Magpies. Everywhere. So much so, that Edmonton has been declared Canada’s magpie capital. Their numbers are also growing according to biologists at Bird Studies Canada. While other species have had their numbers dwindle, in 2015, biologists concluded that Magpie numbers in the city had increased by 20 percent over the previous five years. While they may be pretty, they have become a nuisance, attacking cats especially.
