Wattlebird Four swoops, one flicking a wing against me lid. That's five points IIRC.
Would it be illegal to feed it... to my Magpie friends?

Wattlebirds used to be considered very god eating - sweet.Mulger bill wrote:Out for a lazy scoot around the block on the Reid this arvo.

I don't mind the swooping or minor attacks, it's the nervousness before you are attacked that I don't like!
Must be coming to an end in the next few weeks!

Not necessarily, if it's a good season (and it seems to be) many breeds will clutch twice....Tarquin wrote:Must be coming to an end in the next few weeks!

sitting in the tree one from head on 2 clicks of beak and duck to avoid applying breaks with words of go away U stupid feathered pillow stuffing then 2 seconds later one from behind 3 swoops and 3rd in tree is the umpire i guess slowing down to an almost stop P platers swerve to avoid me as i swerve to avoid the head on with a feather duster bearing a very noisy "get the .......outa my town" i say get off bike let cars go buy as its now a work zone and road works going crazy , would it be fair if i went back that way with a bag of marbles and my trusty slingshot (its just the all love in war theory i have) so how did i score ?
barney?

Ah. Saw one of those signs on Burley Griffin. Victorian councils don't even do that.lobstermash wrote:I'm in Canberra. Swoop city here... Once upon a time we had the federal government running our territory. Now we have a hopeless recombination of local/state government running the place. You can report birds, which results in a sign being put up warning people of a swooping bird. Whoopee
I liked the place anyway ... a commuter's dream, to be sure.
