Success! Mission accomplished. Thank goodness no fried possums lying across the plugs!
Their numbers are dwindling around here and yet inner city suburbs seem to be as populated as ever, judging by the number of "letters to the Editor"
Possums use the overhead power lines, even the high tension ones as a highway from tree to tree and being nocturnal there was often an electrocuted one hanging in the morning that must have tried to climb off instead of leaping 
Yes Ellan! Quite a menagerie as you say. You may recall a while back when a couple of Magpies (can't remember if seeing two is lucky or not!) took up residence here, but after nurturing them through the Winter they dumped me and you consoled me by guaranteeing they would come back, which they did accompanied with 2 offspring.! Happy Returns. 
Two of them have been regular daily visitors ever since, but can't tell which is which; no chance of ringing them at the time'
How are you going with your seagulls? "Seagulls by the Mersey"! Could be a winner! I can't imagine them being as sociable as Maggies: certainly not as tuneful!
AGAA4 An intriguing GN nickname! 
Obviously an acronym(?) Yes, the other member of our family, (comprising two Maggies. Freda and ME) was purring away in the sunshine on the drive after its ordeal; I won't do that again in a hurry!
Only problem is, nowhere interesting to go!
Now it's nearly Chewsday and another 3C night!
Good Health
