Back to stopping the Spring magpie wars: bring a peace offering!

A primary school boy has been singled out by a "mean" local magpie each spring for almost half his life.

Louis, 12, often carries protection against the swooping bird after being injured multiple times

Experts say magpies can hold long grudges, but peace is possible.

The bird beef started one day when Louis was swooped while riding his bike.

It escalated when he hit the bird with a broom while defending himself from an attack.

If you attack, threaten and yell at male magpies defending their kids, you're in for it! 😆
