@TheDesperettes I don't think I'm visiting Australia any time soon -
why do you think our wigs are so big?

according to the article, Bike helmets with wire straws in them kept the birds away! So I guess the wigs work!

Magpie swooping season in Australia - what will they think of next? I'm still trying to figure out why Donald never flies.

I turned up to school one day with my hair covered in blood and missing a square inch of skin from a maggie attack.

magpies only attack people if they've been hassled by people, they're not bad at all. Wedgetails will take small children though.

magpies will swoop you to protect there eggs ... It only happens in spring. True story
-
they will attack people who harass them other times of year, just less frequently. That's why I'm nice to them.

I grew up near bushland south of Perth, every spring, i was swooped in the same area & it would have been the same 1
-
I grew up eastern Brisbane, avid bird watcher, been all over Australia bushwalking. Magpie species behave can differently
