Actually, though this is exaggerated, these magpies literally have the intent of killing people. A teacher at my high school was late because he had to run away from a magpie. It's swooping season now. We're all going to die.
As an Australian this is very true. I remember a case were a young child had his whole eye ripped out by a magpie. Severe injuries are rare but they do happen.
You will see people walking around or riding their bikes with crazy things on the head to stop them swooping. Someone even sold helmets with big googley eyes on the back.

Ironically, that is also one of Australia's known qualities.
What about this,
