GEE, AND HERE WAS THINKING THE BUTCHERBIRD WAS SUCH A LOVELY BIRD. IM PRETTY SURE THE SAME BIRDS ARE AROUND HERE WHERE I LIVE. NOW IM NOT SO IMPRESSED WITH THEM AFTER SEEING THIS. THEY HAVE NEVER EVER COME DOWN TO ATTACK ME LIKE THIS. THEY HAVE ONLY EVER SUNG TO ME OUTSIDE WHILE I ANSWER THEM BACK AND THEY HAVE KEPT ON SINGING TO ME. AND WHEN I GO OUT THEY HAVE NEVER COME DOWN TO ME LIKE THIS.
Sorry to hear you got hit. You don't see them coming and then bam - right on the head. One time I fell off my bike when I was attacked. It frightened the heck out me. Watch the skies!
I was swooped 6 times in 20 minutes just trying to weed my garden. At least 30 swoops in two weeks. Getting fed up.
Try wearing a motorcycle helmet - it helps a lot 😎
Try feeding them some mince meat. We did that with magpies, they come and sit with us now.
mince meat is great with some rat killer mixed in with it
I’m just not going to ride my bike in spring
Com’on don’t let the bird beat you - they are bird’s
tennis anyone?

Probably because you're not a cyclist. No one likes cyclists.
Amazing footage!

Interesting comment about possibly using the sun to their advantage. Hehe, plucky little bird, it really is a beautiful video!
Glad you liked video!
