A swooping Magpie has been saved from death row after injuring 4 children at Clarko Reserve in Trigg.  Two of those children were hospitalised.

The City of Stirling applied to The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions to have the bird put down, however the Department have declined the request saying that the Magpie’s behaviour has improved over the last couple of weeks.

Mayor of the City of Stirling Mark Irwin spoke to Simon Beaumont on the Afternoon Program.
