Australian Magpie: Nice head you've got there, be a shame if something were to happen to it.

Yup, got my annual large bag of jerky that I keep in the handlebar bag. They have such good memories, I get to chuckle as they go after the person behind me.

This works. Give them some cheese or something. They have good facial recognition and memories.

Haha this was good fun.

They reel out of the sky at you like they’re barrelling out of a nightclub bathroom wearing a floral shirt open to the navel, beaks atwitch, roaring a garbled query that sounds disturbingly like: “What did you just say to me?”

Beat the shit out of them when they swoop, a few cracks in the head and they start thinking twice about swooping you.

I started doing that over a decade ago, the magpies near my house don't do shit to me anymore.
