      Still doesn't change the fact that: a) I prefer a 5’ fence between a cassowary and me; 2) No magpie or mockingbird has the potential to inflict anywhere near as much damage; 3) A cassowary still looks like a relic from millions of years ago, relative to the other birds (or pretty much just about any current bird) in the conversation.
      Relax, man.
      PS - I have stood in front of one as well without being killed. Pretty sure that's how I wrote this in the first place. ;)

      Emus. . Nah. They run off and don’t attack. But fucking magpies. Everyone here has a story about magpies attacking. They’re not the worst though. But are the most common. Masked plovers. When nesting will get really viscous. They like open space like cleared fields and parks to lay eggs. They have hooks or spurs on their wings that they strike you with. Nasty as F.

      Judging by your American flag pic, I assume you're American.
      American/Eurasian magpies are highly intelligent corvids who can come to accept you if you earn their trust.
      Apparently, Australian magpies are sometimes capable of doing the same thing, but... they're not corvids. Which means there may be some differences in their behavior. Aussie magpies are instinctively more protective and territorial about guarding their nests, whereas a common magpie will react differently to humans, cats, dogs, and many other animals who come within a certain proximity to their nests (they anipe owls on sight, though).
      So, yeah, the maggies you encounter behave so differently for a reason.

      My girl friend quit her morning bike ride for a month while these birds were raising a brood. We both feed the birds around in our respective back yards including magpies and those individuals would never attack us but it's the ones further from our homes who may. We have both been hit once. One came up behind me decades ago. Dead silent, it hit me in the back of the head while I was walking (really hard with its beak, you might think that would hurt the bird but they don't seem to care). I can confirm it hurts, a lot, but for us no long lasting affects.
      Occasionally someone will lose an eye and I've heard of someone falling off their bike with fatal consequences from a magpie attack.

This spring I had enough and managed to chase it off with my umbrella lol. However the magpies who live near my grandma's house adore me, they never swoop me and I feed them breakfast nearly every morning. Usually if you were present during the magpie's nest-building (this was the case with my grandma's house) they will recognize you and will not attack you. But they really can be shitheads 😂😂

    i remember the 'magpie scurge' when growing up in Scarborough (Perth WA). We sued to go everywhere on our bicyles and every now and then (nesting season) we had to avoid certain areas where the magpies were. I recall them making a 'clicking' noise as they flew very close - I presume that was their beaks. I think the only thing I feared worse was a pack of dogs.

The only people who had a problem being swooped by him, were a bunch of ferals who tried to take their babies from my tree. These lovely birds cop so much shit from little kids throwing stuff at them in fear, adults encouraging it etc. No wonder they're aggressive sometimes.

But the thing is the area where I ride my downhill is also where I walk to the bus stop, mostly because I almost miss the bus and no magpies come charging at me. Even when I was probably 100 metres from them one was trying to swoop me and I stayed on the same spot and was scared to take of my helmet because he might get my head so I walk my bike home still swoops me. So then I rode my bike full speed to get away from them so I can just go home.
