Parents of a four-year-old boy at risk of losing sight in one eye have spoken of their horror at the attack and say they want the bird killed.
‘(I) dropped everything. Ran to the hospital. No words can explain how you felt,’ the boy’s father Chris McInnes told the Nine Network.
‘I broke down. I started crying a lot.’
Both parents said they would like to see the magpie culled.
‘I would love for him to be killed but I don’t see it happening,’ mother Melissa Partridge said.
Mr McInnes agreed.
‘Every parent would want the magpie put down for sure, knowing that in that park there has been several incidences (of magpie attacks)…’ he said.
Queensland Parks and Wildlife officers had been trying to move the magpie on Thursday but so far it has remained elusive, Environment Minister Vicky Darling said.
Seth McInnes was riding his bicycle on a path near a Toowoomba park when the bird attacked him on Sunday afternoon.
Mr McInnes, told The Toowoomba Chronicle he saw the magpie swoop and hit his son.
‘He was riding his bike back towards me and I saw it coming down really fast,’ Mr McInnes told the paper.
‘His screams didn’t shoo it away. It was only when I got over there it left.
‘He had a little scratch over his eye. But when I looked in his eye it was full of blood.’
Seth was rushed to Toowoomba Hospital, where Mr McInnes was told his son would probably lose all vision in his left eye.
The boy was then taken to the Mater Children’s Hospital in Brisbane for emergency surgery.
Ms Darling said it was a sad incident.
She says people must remember it is magpie breeding season for the next six to eight weeks.
‘It’s terribly concerning for any adult or child to be injured by a magpie,’ she said.
‘There is a few precautionary steps to take – one is to slow down when walking through magpie territory.’
Other steps include wearing hats and even carrying an umbrella.
