Humanity is under attack from brutal magpies \u2013 and they might even hold a grudge Down Under.<\/p>\n

An Australian woman has taken to social media to share her story about a vicious magpie attack when she was a girl that rendered her blind in one eye. Her comments come off the back of footage of an influencer being divebombed in the eye.<\/p>\n

The flying scumbags have been causing havoc in Australia \u2013 and it seems they\u2019ve been doing it for some time. A woman, named Kirsty, recently took to TikTok to comment on a video posted by influencer Sarah Jade. <\/p>\n

Horror footage showed Sarah Jade taking a stroll when a black and white bird swooped in and plunged the length of its beak into the underside of her eyeball. She said she was left \u201ctraumatised\u201d by the incident and noted that \u201cswooping season is in full swing\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Astonishingly though, it seems as though she is not alone, because Kirsty has since taken to the platform to share her own horror story with the evil eye gougers. Reacting to the clip, Kirsty said: \u201cA magpie poked my eye out… My right eye was indeed pecked out by a magpie. I know it sounds too crazy to actually believe. It was 26 years ago when I was five and I'm permanently blind in my right eye but I was lucky enough to keep my eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Kirsty speaks throughout the clip, it is impossible to see any damage to her eyeball from the incident \u2013 which occurred while she played in the back garden.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was out picking little daisy flowers in my backyard when my sister called out for me and said \u2018watch out from behind a magpie is going to swoop you\u2019. In doing that, I actually turned around and the magpie then proceeded to get me in the eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said it was like "popping an egg yolk" and noted that the bird \u201cput a hole with his beak all the way to the very back of my eye\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During the breeding season, magpies will ferociously defend their nests. According to the Guardian, Birdlife Australia\u2019s Sean Dooley said that magpies could recognise faces and \u201ctend to swoop the people they see as a threat\u201d.<\/p>\n
