The service has already been called out to treat the victims of magpie attacks, including a 12-year-old boy who suffered cuts to his head.
It warned cyclists in particular to watch out for attacks, which can lead to serious accidents.
Tips for avoiding attacks include walking away quickly while keeping an eye on the bird, wearing hats or helmets and carrying umbrellas, sticks or small branches above your head.
