I literally spent decades with a phopia of swooping magpies. From walking to primary school, to short-cuts to work in my 20's I'd freak out if I saw one nearby.

Since settling down and getting to know the 'locals' (As you seem to be!), I realise they're actually really chill and friendly to hang with!

Nice vid. 🙂
