We got swooped!

[Traveller]

I remember the first time I got swooped, I was a blubbering mess I was so scared

[kimmi]

rotten magpies! I've luckily never been swooped, but I remember as a kid being so frightened of them!

[MummaSue]

In all seriousness though, I am terrified now.

They can be scary things.

Ah that time of year again! Must do as a PP said & change my walking path! I got swooped when I was a teenager so badly my head bled! I've never forgotten it.
At least while you may feel silly waving your arms & yelling, passers by will have nothing but sympathy for you.

Up until 1980 (yes you read it right!) I lived in woop woop, literally and NEVER got swooped. Within 2 yrs of living in suburbia, I was swooped to the point it had me laying on the ground! A man came out and threw pebbles at it..........he later turned out to be a high school teacher of mine! lol I am also scared of Maggies!

There are also other birds that swoop.....smaller version of a Maggie....PeeWee???????????

Arrrh there is a really aggressive one at the end of our street that is swooping, Might have to try the eyes on the top of our hats. We live in a col-der-sac so no other way out if we want to go for a walk. They are so scary at this time of year.
