Bambi92 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 At this present time I hate them lol Last week me and phoenix went for a walk to the shop it takes us 40 mins to walk there on the way there we walked passed two lots of magpies feeding there babies they didn't care about us but on the way back one of them decided I was the perfect target and started swooping me and almost clawed me. This week we went for a walk again and yet again the little so and so did it again I swear it was the same bird he looked at me evil lol I have no idea how to make them not attack other then avoid them as much as possible only problem is we have to walk passed the park they like to breed in grrrrrrr! For those that don't know what they are like you really don't want to be near them at breeding season they try and kill you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 There's very little you can do to avoid being attacked, as their territory covers a very large area so... I don't know, wear a very thick hat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi92 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Knowing my luck it would steal it like another bird did when I was younger lol I was thinking of finding some safe shiny things to their for them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'd just avoid the area as best you can for now. Its likely they are attacking you because they see you as a threat to their young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it is but i have no choice but to walk past them if I want to go right around then it'll take an extra 20 mins Just wish there was something to stop them damn birds lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambi92 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'd rather argue with the bird then walk an extra 20 mins lol sounds a bit silly though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Get a ice-cream container and draw a smiley face on it and wear it when going through the areas - It works but the side effect is you end up looking like a looney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Another thought here; won't the dogs attempt to bite the bird? I mean, if their prey drive is strong enough, that bird is fast enough to make 'em react Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
