Hallo to all you ornithologists...or even golfers in GoY....My question is...I have some golf ball scattered around my garden and I have noticed that one has gone missing, would it be possible that magpies or crows or other birds could have stolen them?...this is not a trick question...just a fact...OK I can see that some of you will laugh at my question and think that I´m a strange person having golf balls in my garden...but everybody to their own thing!.

which seems to have gone
jackdaws and magpies like trophies and will take a range of odd items as souveniers. all the crow family are bright and clever birds.

Hallo Seaburngirl...I saw that I had put the same question in twice that is why I deleted one of them....thanks for your answer...those were my thoughts as well but I didn´t know if magpies etc could even get them in their beaks...so that would be the answer I think.

they will pick things up in their feet too. seen a jackdaw take a barbie doll off the grass when my eldest girl left it out.

And I have seen a herring gull lift a (full) milk jug off a table, fly off carefully, land on a wall nearby & drink the milk!

We had a foxes den in the woods at the bottom of our garden and found where all the tennis balls had disappeared from our garden!
