Today on a bike track near home in suburban Canberra I was cycling and my son scooting. I had a helmet on, but my son did not. A magpie swooped us and went for my son, presumably as he had no head-covering.

On the way back I had lent my helmet to Oliver, and sure enough the magpie swooped me this time.
