Don't get swooped.
Live hotspot reports, route checks, and optional alerts.
Why this matters
Swooping is usually close-range: pedestrians within ~50m, cyclists within ~100m of nests.
2,648 recorded swooping incidents + 274 reported injuries (as reported in media).
A peer-reviewed analysis at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (2006–2022) reported that 40% of bird-related eye injuries were attributed to magpies, and magpie-larks accounted for 6%.
Other birds that commonly swoop to defend nests include masked lapwings/plovers, noisy miners, butcherbirds, and magpie-larks.
