Brisbane City Lord Mayor, Adrian Schrinner, announced the removal of aggressive magpies would be put into place after the death of a 5-month old girl who received traumatic head injuries after her mother was swooped and tripped over in an attempt to escape.
The new guidelines state experts will be called to assess the bird and decide whether or not the magpie must be moved.
"This will occur whenever a bird demonstrates dangerous behaviour and restricting public access to their nesting area isn't practical," the council said on Tuesday.
