Well, there's this lady that lives in the complex next to mine, and she's terrified of magpies swooping on her. Goes so far as to either get dropped off at the nearby train station, or, when she can't get dropped off, she'll either ask whoever comes along if she can walk with them, or, barring that, she'll walk with an open umbrella. Thought she was being a bit silly about it, but....

She's on to something.

Yesterday evening, feeling quite sick and sorry for myself, I was walking home from the station. Now, there's a quite nasty magpie that lives a couple complexes down that's swooped at me once (came quite close, but didn't actually hit). So, here I was, minding my own business and wanting to get home and to bed, when suddenly the side of my head is incredibly sore and a magpie is flying off, away from me. Yep, bombed right into the side of my head.
So, thinking that since it flew away the magpie was no longer interested in target practice, I kept on walking. A mere 10 or so seconds later, WHAM! Exact same spot, exact same magpie. Not nice.

But, in hindsight, I find the whole incident hilarious biglaugh.gif

Wow, that's uncommon for a bird to actually hit you eek4.gif . Corvids are known to attack animals in their territory, especially cats bluetongue.gif .

What he said. The 'pies are nasty here. More so in some places than others.

Totally funny. Like when I kicked a dog and he bit me... still don't see why he bit me.

Oh yes, such a mystery. Why did you kick the dog in the first place, anyway?

1. You don't have to provoke magpies to get attacked.

2. Don't kick dogs.

Well in a way they're being provoked... They only get that nasty during the Spring when they're nesting, they get really territorial and protective of their young.
