Why are Magpies so often Hated?
Seen as a bad omen by many, Magpies are the bird people most love to hate. But why? This is because they are described as challenging and arrogant. They are one of the most vilified birds in Australia. Reasons for this include their "cheekiness" and aggressive territorial nature. They have a challenging, almost arrogant attitude, that has won them few friends, but Magpies are none-the-less beautiful striking birds. When it comes to this intelligent black-and-white bird, most people love to hate them.

Magpie Attacks
For most of the year magpies are not aggressive, but for four to six weeks during nesting there will be an Army of them defending their territory vigorously. People walking past may be seen as 'invaders' of the territory, prompting the Magpie Army® to fly low and fast over the person clacking their bills as they pass overhead. Being territorial birds, up to ten magpies will sometimes group together in a small squads then swarm down to defend their homes.
