Magpie Lark attack

[Wes Tolhurst <>]

Last year my three year old came in from the back deck crying about the bird 
attacking him.  He had a nice scratch near his eye.  We went outside and he 
pointed at a magpie lark.  I found it difficult to believe him.  About 2 weeks 
later I was sitting on the deck and had the male magpie lark approach me 
walking along the hand railing.  When he got to about 4 feet away he flew up 
and lunged out with his feet scratching me in the same spot as his did my three 
year old.  With three little kids of my own, that magpie lark was very lucky to 
escape with it's life.
