The Brisbane City Council will act faster to remove aggressive birds, after an investigation found five complaints had been made about the swooping magpie that caused the death of a five-month-old in early August.
On Aug. 8, Baby Mia was with her mother and father in Glindemann Park in the suburb of Holland Park, Brisbane, when they were “swooped” by a magpie. The mother ducked and fell, causing critical injuries to her child who was strapped to her body. Mia later died at Queensland Children’s Hospital from severe head injuries.
