Swooping Magpies
Some Australian Magpies are known to swoop pedestrians and cyclists in the area of their nest to protect their young. Georges River Council has prepared this Magpie Factsheet to provide information on Magpies and tips to avoid being swooped. Council is also preparing a Magpie Map to add to our Neighbourhood Maps portal.
Please note that it is an offence to harm a native animal under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 so Council does not consider removing swooping magpies.
