The swooping season is about to begin. They can cause nasty injuries. Some cyclists wear helmets with huge spikes on top. Funny looking and not always efficient.

cbimages Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Gen, a lovely photo of one of my favourite birds. Betty, these birds can become very tame. I have a family, Mum, Dad & 3 babies from last year. The parents have been here for at least 10 years. Mum is nesting again & Dad carol's (that's magpie singing) loudly outside the bedroom window every morning to get breakfast to take to her. He and 2 of the youngsters eat from my hand. The youngsters are very naughty and enjoy swinging on my shower towel when it's airing on the line. This is one I took of them last week but not on Alamy.

Alan Beastall Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 gvallee, I first encountered this bird at nine when crossing a field in Warnambool, Victoria. For the first few times all I heard was a whooshing noise and on the third time saw the bird diving at me. Very, very frightened at that tender age. No the forth attack I shouted and waved my arms. It never came back and I lived to tell the tale. In England they are very shy birds. Alan ( ex five pound pom ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to highjack this thread any longer than I already have, shame there's no more PM. Everyone's punished because of a few. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if it was a Magpie. We have them in the U.S. but they look somewhat different than yours, I think. We don’t have them in my part of the country, but when we traveled west on vacation, I think I saw my first one possibly in Wyoming. Being a bird lover, I was thrilled to see something new. The next time we traveled, I had a book on North American birds in my hand. I can understand wearing helmets. But injuring birds with spikes, who are just doing what their instincts tell them to do while protecting their nests? Not good. My nephew, who has a Great Horned owl family on his farm, has been hit in the head twice. Bleeding results. But the most he does is wear a ball cap and nervously keep an eye out. He loves those owls.

No fear Betty. I should have said they're plastic or rubber spikes, most of them homemade. Example here. Fetching or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
