Swoopy Boy Magpie T Shirt
Featuring an Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen). Speaking gently to these birds makes them less likely to swoop humans.
A tribute to Australia’s most feared seasonal villain – the swooping magpie.
This magpie t shirt features original artwork by Claire Harrison, capturing that exact moment a magpie decides you’ve done something wrong and need to be dealt with.
I’ve never actually been swooped by a magpie myself. Myna birds, yes. But those primary school videos had me convinced it was coming for all of us.
If you know, you know.
Printed to order in Sydney on premium cotton, the Swoopy Boy tee is built for comfort, durability and surviving magpie season (mentally, at least).

Looking for a magpie t shirt or a funny Australian t shirt that actually feels specific? This one leans fully into swooping season.
Magpies are a weirdly iconic part of growing up in Australia. Whether you’ve been chased off your bike or just remember the warnings, it’s something most people here instantly recognise.
The Swoopy Boy design has become its own small piece of magpie season folklore, the name people search for when they want the shirt about getting swooped. If that is what brought you here, you have found it.
This tee turns that shared experience into something wearable, without overthinking it.
It also makes a solid gift for bird lovers, cyclists, or anyone who’s had a run in with a territorial magpie.

Most of our products are sourced through AS Colour and other ethical suppliers who we chose specifically because of their high quality products and transparent ethical processes. You can read more about our ethical clothing approach, our slow fashion production model and how our garments are printed in Sydney.
Each garment is printed to order in Sydney using ethically sourced garments as part of our slow fashion production model rather than mass produced in large quantities. This allows us to reduce waste and maintain a more responsible production approach.
Some of the social responsibility measures we take include:
All by-products of the printing process are either reused or recycled. We have removed nearly all plastic from our supply chain. Our ink cartridges are reused. All of our cardboard is recycled and we work with a supplier in Western Sydney who breaks down the components of our leftover ink into environmentally friendly nutrients to enrich soil.

My 12 year old thinks this shirt is hilarious. I like that there were multiple t shirt styles/ colours and found the pictures in the style/ size guide super helpful!
I bought one of these years ago and it’s still looking good even after several washes. Good quality and gets loads of compliments
