澳大利亚网络开发者乔恩·克拉克在2013年遭喜鹊攻击后，创建了"喜鹊警报"数据库，该平台已成为追踪该国攻击性喜鹊的主要信息枢纽1。自2016年上线以来，该数据库每年收到4000至6000份提交，约45000名用户定期查阅最新更新1。
行为生态学家达里尔·琼斯从事喜鹊研究超过30年，他的研究表明仅约8%的喜鹊会进行俯冲，其中仅一半会真正对行人发起攻击1。这些攻击主要发生在喜鹊的筑巢期间，针对的往往是特定的人群1。琼斯指出，简单的防御措施如对视喜鹊或改变行进路线最为有效1。研究还发现喜鹊能识别约30张人类面孔1。喜鹊攻击在9月达到高峰期1。
虽然大多数喜鹊攻击造成的伤害有限，但严重事件时有发生1。2019年一名76岁老人在躲避喜鹊时摔车身亡，2021年一名5个月大的婴儿在母亲躲避喜鹊过程中被摔死1。
After being attacked by a magpie in 2013, Australian web developer Jon Clark launched the Magpie Alert database, which has become the primary platform for tracking magpie attacks across Australia.1 The website went live in 2016 and now receives between 4,000 and 6,000 submissions annually, with approximately 45,000 users regularly consulting updates about attack incidents.1
According to behavioral ecologist Daryl Jones, who has studied magpies for over 30 years, only about 8 percent of magpies engage in swooping behavior, and only half of those actually attack pedestrians.1 Magpies primarily target specific individuals during their nesting season rather than indiscriminately attacking people.1 Jones emphasizes that simple defensive measures, such as maintaining eye contact or changing one's route, prove most effective in deterring attacks.1 Notably, magpies can recognize approximately 30 human faces, suggesting they may hold individual grudges.1
The data collected through the alert system shows that September represents the peak period for magpie attacks in Australia.1 The issue has resulted in serious incidents, including a 76-year-old man who died in a motorcycle crash in 2019 while attempting to evade a magpie, and a five-month-old infant who was fatally dropped by his mother in 2021 during an encounter with an attacking bird.1
