Deliberately provoking them as a kid to get swooped is a cornerstone of any upbringing.
Also plovers swoop people too.

As with most creatures in Australia I guess, the Magpies are out to get you and you could take precautions but The eyes don't work...

report a swooping bird incident

Not sure why, but that's funny.

Are they really that aggressive even without protecting their young/eggs? Because that I have experienced many times (Northern Europe, all sorts of birds).

No, the swooping is to protect their young.

Because that I have experienced many times

You have not experienced swooping by an Australian Magpie

My experience of Corvids is not to piss them off, they hold grudges and pass them down through generations.

Although, I feed the crows and ravens in my area, and they seem nice enough.

I suppose, pissing them off might have been the issue here.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
