Magpie Lark(?) Attacking Children in theMelbourneSuburbs

[Mike Jarman <>]

There was a magpie-lark at Darling Harbour, Sydney within the Chinese gardens 
that had to be relocated a few years back.  It was also reported "going for the 
eyes"  Makes me wonder about the obsession magpie-larks have with there 
reflection.  Could it see itself in the eyeball???  probably just a cranky bird

cheers
