Nasty Magpies

The cyclist in yellow caught our eye because of her unusual helmet.
Turns out the magpies here are quite aggressive and dive bomb her, waiting until she’s on one leg as she prepares to mount her bike before diving onto her head and pecking at her between the slats on the helmet.

  1. Her helmet is awesome! But why do the magpies attack her head? Does she keep fruit on it, like Charo?

  2. No, they're just mean birds. They seem to enjoy it.
