How to use magpie in a sentence?

1. Geoff Maslen:

   A different magpie was attacking my friend, but realized that the helmet on his head wasn't going to( let him) cause him any damage, so he grabbed a piece of his ear as he swooped past, and he was left with blood pouring down his head.

2. Geoff Maslen:

   The common way( for people to avoid swooping) is to grab a big stick and wave it over their heads when they're headed through magpie territory, i've noticed several cyclists around here have stalks stuck to their helmets to try to stop the magpies from colliding with them.
