Swooping Birds – Camden LGA

This dataset records reviewed reports made to Camden Council of swooping birds within the Camden Local Government Area for the current year. Several native Australian bird species including the Australian Magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen), Masked Lapwing or “Plover” (Vanellus miles) and Grey Butcherbird (Cracticus torquatus) exhibit swooping behaviour during breeding season, typically in Spring (August–October). This may result in birds swooping people, pets, or animals they perceive as a threat to their nest. It is estimated only 5% of these native birds swoop during breeding season, this natural and temporary behaviour typically ceases when the young leave the nest. Native birds have their place in the Australian ecosystem, and it is important that we learn to live with wildlife so we can co-exist without endangering conservation of our native wildlife. Avoiding nest sites during breeding season is recommended to reduce chances of being swooped. For further information visit: https://www.camden.nsw.gov.au/environment/biodiversity/native-animals/swooping-birds/ Disclaimer: While care has been taken to create and compile this dataset, Camden Council does not warrant, represent or guarantee that it is accurate, complete, current, suitable or available.

本数据集记录了本年度坎伯兰地方政府区域内坎伯兰市政府收到的关于猛禽俯冲行为的审查报告。包括澳大利亚乌鸦（Gymnorhina tibicen）、蒙面凤头麦鸡或称“百灵”（Vanellus miles）以及灰斑鹟（Cracticus torquatus）在内的多种澳大利亚本土鸟类物种，在繁殖季节（通常为春季，即八月至十月）会表现出俯冲行为。这种行为可能导致鸟类对视作对其巢穴构成威胁的人类、宠物或其他动物进行俯冲。据估计，仅有5%的这些本土鸟类在繁殖季节会进行俯冲，这种自然且暂时的行为通常在雏鸟离巢后停止。本土鸟类在澳大利亚的生态系统中占据其独特位置，因此，我们有必要学会与野生动物和谐共处，以确保不会危及我们本土野生动物的保育。建议在繁殖季节避免靠近鸟巢，以降低被俯冲的风险。如需更多信息，请访问：https://www.camden.nsw.gov.au/environment/biodiversity/native-animals/swooping-birds/。免责声明：尽管在创建和编制本数据集时已尽最大努力，坎伯兰市政府不对数据的准确性、完整性、时效性、适用性或可用性作出保证或担保。在法律允许的范围内，坎伯兰市政府排除因依赖或使用本数据集中的材料而产生的任何损失或损害的责任，包括任何疏忽或其他原因造成的责任。
