My second day in Australia I had one swoop me about 5 times and then finally peck or claw my scalp and it was a bloody mess. I went into the trailer I was staying in and the bird perched on a branch and evil eyed me for 30 minutes. Those birds are gangster.

Later I saw kids waiting for the school bus with ice cream boxes on their head with two dots drawn on the back. Definitely not a fashion thing.

The locals got I good laugh from me getting pecked because they all know the tricks after the first warning swoop.
