Is it over? Swooping season that is...

I have been seeing and hearing the younglings- the not so black feathered birds with their begging calls- so the end of the swooping season isn’t far away.

That would get the Taliban quivering in their turbans…

A magpie pulled a gun on me the other day.

I reckon they’re getting worse.

Yeah I blame their parents and they were too poor to attend private schools.

Get them into the military Capt RAAF?

I’m feeling blesed, I walked through a throng of 26 magpies the other evening – a few sideways glances (as maggies do) and a hop out of the way, but no agression

Of course if its a good season then the birds will have a second round of nesting before winter……

i was savagely swooped last week on mort street braddon when cycling in to work 🙁

Yeah, I was swooped yesterday.

nope – saw a cyclist getting harassed yesterday.

I was thinking it was over, but then there was a post here last week about a particularly vicious bird that seemed to be starting late.

Guess I’ve been lucky this season, aside from one lame attempt mid august I haven’t been attacked at all. Yesterday I rode past a couple holding sticks in the air as they walked; I saw a few magpies just past them but they all completely ignored me.
