During magpie nesting season, these birds get extremely territorial and will attach anybody or anything that they feel is a treat.
According to the Swooping Magpie Attack Statistics page, this is serious business...

Well, you'd call it important if you find yourself on the receiving end of an irate magpie.
On this web site you can also find reports of attacks. One, in particular, includes a video, perhaps a little overproduced, but still informative and more than a little startling.
Perhaps now you understand why there are web pages and statistics about this. I'm hoping that this shall pass before we get attacked.
