Brisbane Magpie Catcher, Removal and Relocation

Magpie catchers are often called upon for removal and relocation of problem birds. Injuries caused by swooping magpies can be from direct contact from the bird itself or by frantic random responses from people causing collision with surrounding objects. These injuries are often to the head, especially the eyes and secondary impacts have unfortunately resulted in fatal incidents such as car strike.

Licensed magpie catchers with long term experience in bird removal activities within Queensland are referred to by this site. These specialists can provide assessment of the problem magpie and where deemed necessary, implement a trapping methodology approved by the regulating body. All magpie trapping is conducted in such a manner as to facilitate the welfare of the birds in question and provide a safety minded response to existing and potential threats to human safety.

Only licensed and insured magpie removal specialists can legally conduct any activity which results in disturbance to nests or the birds themselves including any attempt to capture or directly interfere with birds or the removal and translocation of eggs or chicks. Magpies are a protected species under the provisions of the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992.
