Must try that, I was attacked three times yesterday by the fine feathered peckers. Once just by the shooting range at Belmont (behind the firing line, sadly), again at Stones Corner, and lastly on the north side of Story Bridge, just by the Fire station. No damage, but persistent attacks from two of the little charmers. -- Karen Gallagher "Reverse the polarity and invert the particle flux!" "You mean put the batteries in the other way?"

I didn't think it will work. I try stick-on-eyes on the helmet and backward sunnies, didn't work. Magpies are very smart. They know where your eyes are. -- neon |

Yeah, magpies are smart and they have good memories. But I am sure they have a George Bush type morality: labelling people as good-guys or bad-guys. If you're a regular visitor near a nest, being a 'good-guy' can stop the aggro. There was a time many years ago when I used to be dive-bombed while riding my motorbike up to a shed in my back yard, but this stopped when I started to throw the magpie some small meat scraps. Our house is now near a park and we have several magpies nesting. Every couple of weeks for the last 1-2 months I whistle, then offer them a few small meat scraps. Now I only have to whistle and the boldest magpie does a rapid kamakaze-style swoop down to knee level and lands a couple of metres away, waiting. Once he is busily "killing" a meat scrap, two or three others come and join in. Perhaps coincidentally, I have no magpie problems while riding my bike near the park. Cheers, Vince Vegetarian magpies might like tofu, but they are too busy contemplating Buddhist philosophy to attack people. |
