Tyger Tyger Burning Bright

Beautiful birds but I do not like them, for one thing they're the most irritating birds that frequently spend hours making that godawful noise that they make over and over again. But also every year for years now they have a nest in a tree next door and then they take a lot of the bird food and then still massacre everything else. I've seen one that had just killed a young (but fully grown) blackbird on our lawn (I didn't see it was there before my dog chased it away but the blackbird was already dead by then), I've seen one kill a mouse, and this morning I was in the house and there was this horrible noise from outside, a bird basically screaming in distress. Went out to see what was going on and it was a magpie trying to kill another blackbird down the side passage. Between me walking towards it and my dog barking at it the magpie left but the blackbird had disappeared and I didn't see it fly away but I wasn't sure where it was but eventually I saw it hiding behind the plantpots. I left it there for a while then a bit later it tried to fly across the garden and a magpie went for it again and someone else chased the magpie off that time. I don't know what happened to the blackbird after that, maybe it flew away but I don't know. 
Sure it's nature, them killing other things, but they're taking over completely and just killing everything else (I bet it was them that killed the baby robins and another baby bird too), they've become a real pest and they're really vicious birds, I've never seen any other birds act like they do. They even viciously go at the carrion crows (I love the carrion crows, great birds), I saw them trying to rip chunks of feathers out of a crow in mid air last week and the crows were doing nothing except flying past. They also keep going at the cat that keeps coming in our garden. No I don't want someone else's cat keep coming and sitting on the bird table but I also don't want the cat getting hurt by the magpies.

We (me and my brother) were taking my dog over to the woods and just as we were crossing the slip road in front of the house to go to the main road we saw a sparrow lying on its side on the road, I thought it was dead initially but then it was sort of twitching slightly then we thought it must have been hit by a car and my brother was seriously considering killing it because he thought it was injured and suffering but its beak was gaping and it was lying right in the sun on the tarmac road so I thought then it must have collapsed from the heat. I picked it up and it didn't seem hurt so I carried it across the main road (it was like carrying air, it weighed nothing) and put it in the shade of the trees on the other side of the cemetery railings then I had to come back and take it some water in a yoghurt pot. I splashed some water on it and it was sitting up then instead of lying on its side but it wouldn't drink anything then so we left it with the water while we went to the woods where we found some of the grass near there had been on fire. It was out but there were still some firefighters and police up there and a big charred bit. I hope we get plenty more rain soon because we do not want a repeat of last year when a big area of the wheat field caught fire when they were harvesting it (a lot of the hedgerows are still bare where they got burned away).
Anyway I was completely expecting the bird to be in the same place dead when we came back but when we did come back the pot of water was still there but we couldn't see any sign of the sparrow anywhere dead or alive so I hope just maybe it did make it.
