Had one on the roadside try to attack my car the other day on Gungahlin Drive if I recall correctly, did not see the young but they must have been there. Not a great idea though to come running out towards a car doing 80!

I'm surprised that the ones at John Knight Park actually allow young kids to run at them and get very close before showing any aggression. Had one fly at me at Edison Park one year when I got too close with my camera.
