I was walking back home from nearby supermarket and while passing through a cluster of trees on the walking path I suddenly saw a magpie zipping pass through my ear. I thought that was nothing but a bird getting a bit closer than usual but when another one did the same I was a bit alarmed.
I rushed home and checked about behavior of Magpies on internet. It said, the Magpies become aggressive during their breeding season from August to late October and swoop or even attack humans passing through their nests.
I have seen and even photographed this crow like looking bird but never knew this could be dangerous during this period. By the way have you seen or known about this bird?

I see this bird for the first time and didn’t know it
most animals will attempt to protect their young, the only variable is how aggressive they are about it…
That’s exactly the kind I’ve never seen. I know there are aggressive birds because I was attacked by a duck in the park while taking pictures.
Some birds attack when feeling threatened, I have seen crows attack my friend.
I know for a fact Magpies attack people in Cornwall park during breeding season. Pays to wear a hat and keep your distance.
Thanks, I generally don’t use a hat but use it from now on! But keeping a distance is not possible because this area is full of magpies.
Gee, that’s very interesting to know that you can be attacked by birds huh.
Many birds attack humans and other birds if they feel someone is trying to harm their eggs.
Good they did not harm you
It was almost an inch or even less.
Most birds get aggressive during breeding season.
I agree. but most birds do not attack but try to defend their eggs/children in such a situation.
I have really no idea , they can attack as well
According to info this bird really attacks hard in such a situation.
