Magpie Breeding Season
Let’s shift our focus from natural landmarks to an unusual aspect of Australia’s native pigeon, the magpie. During the breeding season, these birds can become aggressive, and locals often refer to this period as “swooping season.” If you happen to be outdoors, there’s a good chance that a magpie might attack you.
Cyclists have devised innovative strategies to protect themselves, such as attaching deterrent spikes to their bike helmets, as the person in the picture demonstrated. These spikes, made from cable ties, are designed to discourage the birds without causing them harm.
