It's only a minority of magpies that swoop (less than 10%) and then they are only protecting their nests from intruders.

The Right Wing only believe in free speech when they agree with what is being said.

They don't swoop me but it Is the Season and there are several ways around it, especially for bikers and walkers.

No, it's a car spring. If you look at the top right, where the coil ends, it flattens as it meets the previous coil to make a flat surface.
