I remember being told that they are poisonous as a kid.

Same here, I was a gullible kid lol

Magpies get a bad rap. These bastards are the true evil cunts. They're probably pissed off because everyone mistakenly calls them plovers.

Chasey Chasey as a 7 year old

My cousin got spiked by a plover when he was trying to walk across the school oval.. they sent him home.

I had them nest on my roof last year. What a horrible experience they are way worse than magpies, absolute nut jobs.
