Oh okay then. :)
Australian Magpies are really pretty birds.
Do your magpies make the cool sound?
"warble-warble..."?
In Denis Glover's poem The Magpies, the mature magpie's call is described as a "quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle".

I kinda like the magpies, they are good cleaners. Most birds don't eat slugs, magpies are big and strong enough to do so. Drawback is that they also seem to be small-bird killers. And nest destroyers/egg stealers.....

It,s actually so long since I heard a magpie (you don,t see them that often where I live) I can,t be 100% sure, but, yea, "warble, warble" sounds like a good description.

Do Australian magpies look any different from the European ones?

I like magpies.

I also like hi-jacking threads to discuss irrelevant things.
