The magpies near me never swoop me, I've somehow made friends with them. They used to swoop my dog, until they saw me and my dog outside together, now they leave her alone. I love them though, they're friendly to other birds (but they have no tolerance for bullies), and they'll even chase off invasive species (Indian Myna birds). They are certainly the dons of my garden.
