Sydney, Australia (CNN) An Australian family is mourning the loss of a five-month-old girl who died after her mother tried to protect her from a swooping magpie. Baby Mia was in her mother's arms when a magpie swooped at them in Brisbane's Glindemann Park on Sunday, causing her mother to trip and fall. Mia was rushed to hospital but later died from injuries sustained in the fall, according to the Queensland Ambulance Service. "Even as paramedics this is an incredibly rare and tragic event to get called to," Holland said. "It was a very emotive scene, my thoughts are with the parents."
