The men converse for only a moment before Thomson is interrupted by a dive-bombing magpie.
"I'm being swooped!" Thompson says. "I'm being swooped by a bird!"
Thomson seems more amused than injured as he flees into the building.
"So, I got attacked by magpies," Thompson wrote in the Facebook post. "If you're a fan of avian justice, this is for you."
