MAGPIES SWOOPING Magpies are characteristic of the Australian urban environment and their social behaviour and
distinctive song provide enjoyment for many people.
Magpies pairs breed in Spring (August – October) and with this comes the magpies natural
behaviour to defend the territory around their nesting site. This may result in magpies swooping either
people or pets who they perceive as a threat to their nest around this 8 week period.
Reduce your chances of being swooped!
Do not deliberately provoke or harass the bird as this may make them more aggressive
Take care as injuries can occur as a result of the birds striking
Walk out of the birds territory immediately
Avoid the swooping area by taking an alternative route
Wear a large, wide brim hat and sunglasses or carry an open umbrella
Keep an eye on the bird as this may discourage attack
Make a temporary sign to warn others.
MAGPIES AND THE LAW Magpies are protected throughout NSW and it is against the law to kill the birds,
collect their eggs, or harm their young.
If you feel a magpie is a serious menace, it should be reported to the local council or
nearest National Parks and Wildlife Service office.
