Page 1:Magpie Attack Map 2014 mapping attacks against cyclists & runners mapped across Queensland

Several magpies protecting their nests at the bottom of our garden swoop our two youngest children almost every time they go outside. They have been attacked a number of times although not injured greatly (just landing on their heads with their claws out) although it is only a matter of time before there is an injury. The psychological effect on the children is more damaging as they are frightened to go outside now...
Injured:No

The little bugger patrols both sides of the road and is highly aggressive ...will annoyingly give chase for a good 20m or more. Nests somewhere near the roundabout entrance of Carlyle Gardens. My toddler was in her seat at the time, glad it went for my head. I have avoided cycling in the area for a long time since the attack, NP in my SUV lol...bring it on birdy!
