Magpie attack on Cyclist - 144C Mascoma St, Strathmore Heights VIC 3041

Date reported: September 16th, 2025 12:30 PM

Date last active: September 16th, 2025

Activity: Cyclist

Injury: Yes

Was convinced it was a revenge attack as my dog has taken to enthusiastically chasing the local birds, but it appears he’s just the regular local menace named Gus. Three swoops in total. Second swoop connected, as he got right into my hair and forehead. Minor bleeding from Gus’s claws, but it could’ve been worse so he’s alright.
