Masked lapwings typically stop swooping when their chicks are fully fledged and able to fly, which usually occurs about 4 to 6 weeks after hatching. They may also cease this behavior once they feel their territory is secure and no longer perceive a threat from humans or animals. Additionally, swooping is most common during the breeding season, so outside of this period, they are generally less aggressive.
To prevent birds from swooping at you, try to avoid their nesting areas during breeding season, wear a hat or carry an umbrella, and walk in a group if possible. Additionally, try to remain calm and avoid making sudden movements if a bird does swoop at you.
