The dive bombing is absolutely true. One day I was watching my neighbors cat walk through his yard when a magpie flew down from a tree and nipped the cat in the backside. The cat was so startled that it did a flip in the air and took off running before its feet ever hit the ground. I laughed hysterically but I'm sure had I been the cat it would have been no laughing matter.

Because even though they are not huge birds, they WILL dive-bomb a cat. Wouldn't you get a little jumpy if something came swooping out of the sky at you over and over until you left the area? They chase cats away from their nest.

If you were a cat and had a big ol' magpie dive-bombing you, don't you think you'd be a little jumpy, too?!

Because the Magpies will attack them...they will dive-bomb anyone...but cats are their favorite....get by their nest and they will dive-bomb you...be careful of them, they are pretty nasty.

Being nipped from out of no where would freak any one/thing out!
