Prompted by a thread in the Suggestions section, I thought it might be useful to have a list of persistent Fairyland "myths" which we know to be untrue, just as a reference so that people can refer to it and know whether something which someone has suggested is true or not. I know there was a thread, years ago, but I can't find it.
Add any that I've missed and maybe once we've come up with a complete(ish) list between us, someone could collate it and type it up to make a document for the Useful Topics section?
So the ones I can think of:
White pots encourage albinos to visit.
Pink pots encourage unicorns to visit.
Watering a garden before a certain time on new food brings mice instead of unicorns.
Placement of pots affects wildlife visiting.
Fully grown mushrooms lose their deterrent properties as they get older and before they are RTH
Putting out a Scarecrow stops Pairs of Magpies taking the treasure when you are doing certain Fairytales
Superfood guarantees better wildlife
There are more mice and mallards at the weekend
Watering a supershroom, brings more WRC
