I’ve heard people say that if you feed them they will remember you and be nice but I think that would take a lot of effort.

Actually surprisingly easy, I have three sets of maggies on my cycling route atm (they love to swoop bikes) and a large bag of jerky (lasts a whole season) in my handlebar bag, which I break up into little pieces. It takes two or three feeds for them to remember you for years, although I enjoy feeding them these days. There's a reason they're called the black and white mafia, it's a protection racket, but they're honorable.

Fair enough. I didn't know that. The ones in our neighbourhood know us because we do feed them occasionally and give them nesting material et cetera.
