As we have told most of you, here in Canberra there are attacking birds called Magpies. When these birds feel that you are in there zone or you are threatening them they will swoop your head. I went for a hike last weekend and it would have been very enjoyable had I not been terrified of being swooped. The birds were everywhere. So far we haven't been swooped and we started feeling like maybe our fears were unwarranted. However, last night we were out with some locals who informed us that it was not a matter of IF we will be swooped but WHEN. There advice for when the inevitable occurs... cover your eyes and run away.
This lady is being swooped. They usually attack from behind and they really don't like bikers.
Her helmet should have looked more like this, because they will go for the highest point.
We will let you know when our first swooping occurs. Until then wish us luck.
