布里斯班市议会发布的最新数据显示，库帕罗在过去12个月内成为鸟类俯冲事件最频繁的郊区，共录得14起报告[1]。卡林代尔和朗科恩分别以12起和9起事件排名第二和第三[1]。市议会在同期共接到311起鸟类俯冲报告[1]。
鸟类俯冲事件主要集中在繁殖季节，其中9月和10月是高发月份[1]。除常见的喜鹊外，鸻鸟、屠鸟和喜鹊莺等物种也会发生俯冲行为[1]。据统计，2021年布里斯班的鸟类俯冲报告曾达到峰值1193起[1]。市议会在过去12个月期间重新安置了18只鸟类[1]。布里斯班市长Adrian Schrinner建议居民佩戴帽子或携带伞作为防护措施[1]。
Brisbane City Council has released data identifying the suburban areas most affected by aggressive bird behavior. [1] Coorparoo emerged as the hotspot for incidents, recording 14 reported swooping events over the past 12 months, followed by Caloundra with 12 incidents and Longcorn with 9. [1] Across the entire council area, officials received 311 swooping reports during the same period, with the majority occurring during the breeding season in September and October. [1]
Beyond the well-known magpie, several other species engage in swooping behavior, including plovers, butcher birds, and magpie larks. [1] The council undertook 18 bird relocations over the 12-month period as part of its response strategy. [1] Historical records show the problem peaked in 2021, when Brisbane recorded 1,193 swooping reports. [1] Mayor Adrian Schrinner has advised residents to wear hats or carry umbrellas as practical protective measures during high-risk periods. [1]
