Stop getting swooped!
Magpie Begone is a mobile app to help protect you from swooping Australian magpies.
The app works by emitting a harmless magpie-repelling sound. Just launch the app and the sound starts playing. Exit the app and the sound stops. Too easy!
We cant guarantee that this app will work on all magpies or in all circumstances, but we have tested it on magpies in the Gippsland region of Victoria and it really has made a noticeable difference.
Please do not use this app as your sole form of magpie protection. Magpies may still swoop, so take precautions when travelling through areas of known magpie activity. Sunglasses, helmets and umbrellas continue to be very valuable tools to prevent injury from magpie attacks. This app is just another tool that may assist to keep you safe.
