Dang Magpies
Aug 30th, 2004 by john
Spring is in the air and it’s that time of the year when the magpies turn vicious. One of the guys at work rides his bike in most days of the week and over the past couple weeks he’s been complaining that this magpie that lives outside the office likes to swoop him as he rides in. We’ve been giving him loads of grief about it. Well, today (being the healthy guy I am) I rode my bike (aka push-bike, bycicle, instrument of death) in and got swooped 4 times in front of the Innovation building (a span of about 100 yards)!
Australian Magpies are a bit bigger and more crow-like than the North American magpie, and this one is pissing everyone off!
Time to get the tennis racquets!
