It's important to note that the magpie may be cautious of the tray and take some time to build up its confidence to walk through it. Therefore, it's recommended to be patient and allow the bird to approach the tray on its own terms. By providing a treat and creating a comfortable environment, the magpie will eventually feel more comfortable and walk through the foot bath. On a spiritual path of discovery one comes to understand the need to balance the deep unknown mystery of the Universe with the illustrious glow of Divine Light that emanates from all things. Throughout, Cavanagh's wry, unsensational tone imposes much-needed perspective upon the mania that informed Creation's mission to wreak pop-art havoc upon the music establishment. Gorging on the book's anecdotal feast, one struggles to comprehend not only how Creation survived its hand-to-mouth existence long enough to become a potent force, but just how its cast of eccentrics, egotists and sociopaths eventually triumphed in such a brutal environment without one of them dying.

It’s almost a rite of passage to be swooped by a magpie in Australia, but it can be terrifying and they can inflict damage. It’s rare but it happens,” Dooley admits.Strategic Communications Unit, Department of the Premier and Cabinet (June 2003). "PC0008 – Use of the Piping Shrike" (PDF).

Australian Magpies ( Cracticus tibicen) are very widespread and live in suburbs across Australia where there are trees and adjacent open areas such as lawns, golf courses and playing fields. For most of the year, Magpies are friendly and sociable, and may even venture into your house to beg for food. But for four to six weeks a year during August to September, the male Magpie will defend his home vigorously. For the rest of the year, people are completely safe from swooping Magpies! Only 10 per cent of the male magpies actually swoop people and the research suggests it is actually a learned behaviour,” Dooley says. “These birds might have had a bad experience with humans in the past, and they remember that and swoop when humans come near their nest.” When you dream of the Magpie, it can be a message from your higher self to find balance in your life, and once the balance is achieved greater fulfillment from your life will be experienced. The Magpie knows every trail and every forgotten lost trail as well as the secrets of the deep mysterious river canyons, springs and precious resources these lands hold. Riding your bike near a nesting Magpie as they are more likely to swoop bike riders than people walking. Vary your route for the next few weeks and the male Magpie will soon stop.
