I'm a Plover and I like to lay my eggs right in the middle of the most trafficked places.

[@RennieAsh]

Eggs on centre bounce AFL field

[@jzzonmymang]

what a good dog he doesn't even try to hurt the plovers he just keeps on playing with his ball and ignores them.

[@alexgreen2918]

I walk past these everyday after school and get swooped it's frickin scary

[@mollysimmons2960]

The plovers are protecting eggs or chicks... run you dog in a different area for a couple of weeks then they’ll have flown away.

[@pastaaaaaaaaoo3796]

[@stu27675]

[@brooklynfraser3936]

To the the dogs probs dead now 😭

[@brooklynfraser3936]

Think*

[@dpatterson7256]

Plovers are protecting their eggs, you have the whole park, run pooch somewhere else champ

[@davodrums]

Looking at the type of dog, the actions of the owner don't surprise me...

[@jovanblom7742]

You shouldn't judge an owner by his dog. Or wait, maybe you could, actually....

[@versacegang4140]

Yeah a houso dog. That's what the cops call them.

[@brooklynfraser3936]

Hey is the dog still alive and well?

[@nnnnnathan1051]

lol, the dog gives zero fucks

[@ruxtonbruce]

Ahh magnoti spoken like a true intellect. You must feel so special to yourself.

[@UnholyBen13]

Poor staffy

[@judyholdsworth9842]

Manly Fanatic 1993 our dog gets swooped and doesn’t. Care

[@charlottemlinaric1619]

They live around the corner from me I fear them like no other bird.They are so much worst than magpies

[@travisfarrugia8287]

Hey whats the name of the song?

[@taylahdrew4085]

That dog is a savage

[@judyholdsworth9842]

Taylah Drew dogs all dogs have adhd

[@sherrin4722]

Who would do that so cruel

[@bernardinodasilva8571]

You are throwing the ball exactly where the birds can have the nest ? This is criminal !

[@ruxtonbruce]

I knew exactly where the nest was. It was far from where I was throwing. Those birds are just very territorial. This is a dog park. Hardly criminal mate. Grow up.

[@michscott380]

Nasty birdie

[@boi_yt9034]

This guy sacrificing his dogs life instead of his

[@Ckfishermen123]

It's funny that I get swift everyday

[@Celco582]

[@donnabeard9142]

They attack me and I'm 11 they were only 1cm away from me and my dog

[@FordFusionDoorSedan]

And your throwing the ball so the dog will get hert

[@jakefew2338]

I love fricken plovers don't let your dog do that please

[@taxijack3072]

Jake Few fuck the birds

[@fireidar]

Obviously you don't have any living in your area.

[@cyanideandhappiness.2691]

[@shocklobster]

They do not.

[@bhabanism]

The dog will loss an eye soon

[@FordFusionDoorSedan]

I got a attack

[@Nikita4ever7000]

I just looked them up on the Internet & they are not Plovers. They are "Masked Lapwings". Update they are a Plover, that's what they are called "Masked Lapwings".

[@fireidar]

A lot of Aussies call them Plovers.

[@versacegang4140]

They're either or

[@standcontractdelta8120]

We call them plovers. Most people don’t know their official name is masked lapwings

[@Reboot99]

Haaaaahaa

[@ruxtonbruce]

Celco - not worth my time!!

[@carlospiceyweiner100]

Go the dog :)

[@tntwed]

Man I get swooped be them everyday

[@Nikita4ever7000]

+tntwed Then you must be near their nest or they would not bother you.

[@TheSkirvo]

I think it's pathetic that the dog's owner is deliberately throwing the ball in the direction of the plovers and put the dog in possible danger and also upsetting the plovers, they were getting purely hysterical. low life behaviour

[@GokantheHusky]

Them slow mos are pretty good though.

[@tr1gg3r64]

the plover hi him check him he coud be poisoned

[@zahlipereira3005]

plovers aren’t poisonous-

[@CR-hf7de]

Lol

[@AngryAdobo]

[@ChrisGalea76]

those are not plovers ..........

[@yoinkrust]

Chris Galea they are idiot

[@glazedgamer7661]

+Chris Galea ....Yes they are

[@tomtonka1915]

+wargodz1 troll GlazedGamer guys obviously they are emu

[@glazedgamer7661]

They're clearly dodos

[@Nikita4ever7000]

+Chris Galea They are " Masked Lapwings" which is a type of Plover.

[@GhostBusterTrace]

The nest probably isn’t even where the dog is running. These birds are annoying. I can’t put clothes on my clothesline, the dog is crapping under the eaves right next to the bedroom window because he gets attacked in his own backyard. They wake you up. They control the whole neighbour hood and all the other native birds are chased off. Hate them and I am a bird lover. Next year I’m buying a water blaster and when the bastards start getting territorial around my house, they are going to be strongly discouraged.

[@henriettaebbs3442]

ugly

[@taxijack3072]

GhostBusterTrace dude buy a rc car and hit them

[@shoobie]

Hope the dog did run across the nest and smash the eggs lmao stupid birds
