*I* heard there’s a season in Melbourne where magpies attack people.

It's Australia, everything attacks people.

All I got is turkeys.

Re: Nature Pics
Only if they see you as a threat during nesting season. Usually bicycle riders will get swooped on streets or park-paths. It's kind if like dogs chasing cars in a way. Occasionally walkers, but I've never had a problem as I tend to talk to them. Our resident family of four that hung around our old house would chase the ravens and occasionally swoop bike riders along the greenway trail behind the house.
Our resident Ravens are entering their spring nesting period. They have been collecting just the right sticks from the yard, and sometimes they will bring things to us in return. Shiny rocks, a wingnut, a tile square, sticks, etc. I'll find my photos and share them.
