Last spring i was going through a bag and a half of food a week for my Cockerspaniel and two cats. This much much more than normal because the magpies were stealing the food when they could get close.
i solved this issue by purchasing a cat litter container with a lid and flap so that the magpies couldnt get to the food. Now even with an second dog I go through a bag every week and a half.
I looked at the fancy dog food containers with the flap but at the time the local store that sold them wanted $150 for them and the cat litter box was $17 and holds more food.
Do you have trouble with birds stealing your animals food? How do you keep them away or keep them from stealing it?
