I know of two cases where Pied Butcherbirds and Australian Magpies attacked fledging Ospreys as they took their first flights with both young birds suffering eye damage from their attackers. It seems that the feeding of these aggressive birds in nearby backyards caused them to concentrate in the area.

Does Brisbane have more Butcherbirds than it used to too. This could also
increase the predation rate if that has indeed happened.

D. Jones only found that the feeding of Magpies did no harm to the Magpies
but my question is what does that do for other species?
