话说,在澳洲的这个季节,经常发生鸟袭击人的事件。跟英国袭击人的天鹅不一样,澳洲,袭击人的鸟通常是喜鹊。它们正处于繁殖的季节,出于保护下一代的目的,它们的攻击性会特别强 (这点跟天鹅还是一样的)
如果有人在距离它们的巢 30-50米范围内活动,它们就会俯冲下来攻击路人。 因为骑车人攻击性看起来更强一些,所以常常被啄。
最近,有一个可怜的孩纸就被人拍到被一只大鸟连续攻击了两次。
出门骑车头盔比手机更重要有木有,防火防盗防大鸟啊!

头盔也没卵用,因为头盔反光更能刺激一些鸟类,反而提高了被袭击率
于是…. 当地人民脑洞大开,纷纷改装自己的头盔….
最常见的是这样,在头盔上绑上塑料条,让鸟类无处下嘴
戴上是这介个效果~
好像个海胆。。。不过防鸟效果好才是真的好啊~
也有人在头盔上安装了树枝
意思是你可以在我头上停一下但是不要啄我吗?
除了这个,还有人用“恐吓法”
在头盔上装好眼镜和假胡子,想用这幅面孔吓退那些企图袭击的鸟
一些手工做的头盔也纷纷亮相
比如这个。。。也不知道方形的头盔戴着感觉如何
这个用纸盒改造的浮夸头盔,看着来势汹汹呢
他们还建了个网站,让大家记录下被袭击的地点,提醒别的居民要小心
目前已经有这么多地方高能预警了。。。
这么看英国人民还是比较幸福的。
至少天鹅不会到处乱飞。。。。
But does having eyes on the back of your head really deter magpies?
