Magpie attack on Cyclist

agressive swoop, caused injury
60 Tishler St, Wright ACT 2611

Magpie as if dive bombed into my ear. Felt like a big slap. This magpie definitely just recently started swooping. Attacks from both sides of the road.

Reported by Arjun M
Magpies are protected throughout Australia, and it is against the law to kill the birds, collect their eggs, or harm their young. If you feel a magpie is a serious menace, it should be reported to your local council.
