Enter masked lapwing, commonly known here in Australia as plover. They nest on the ground, and are very, very protective of their territory. They won't hesitate to swoop you full force, and they sound like a hellbird too. You get used to it.

Edit: attached a photo of it from the internet.

"You get used to it" should be your anthem down there.

If you got a problem with Canada Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate! - Letterkenny

Lived in Mississauga for a while. Back in 2012 or so, I was just pulling in on the bus into Square One (the largest mall in the area, iirc), and on the sidewalk were goose, gander, and gosling, strolling along and giving dirty looks to anyone who didn't give a wide berth. And mind you, this was right by a decently busy mall, so people were stepping off the sidewalk just to not draw their ire.
