Australian Magpie Black And White Buddies Just The Tonic
Australian magpie. Cracticus tibicen
Australian Magpies are found wherever there is a combination of trees and adjacent open areas, including parks and playing fields. They are absent only from the densest forests and arid deserts.
Australian Magpies are common and conspicuous birds. Groups of up to 24 birds live year-round in territories that are actively defended by all group members. The group depends on this territory for its feeding, roosting and nesting requirements.
Magpie beats the white ibis to become Australia’s #1 bird
When I think about birds with camouflage skills the Australian Magpie is not one of the species that spring to mind.
This young one has other ideas though. It was fresh out of the nest and couldn't fly well at all so mum and dad were feeding him on the ground.
When we found it among Basalt boulders it was hiding in plain site and hard to see. It was one of the parents bringing food that gave away its position.

Australian Magpies ... a couple of the youngsters about at the moment ... at 'Couria Creek' Tilba Tilba NSW
The look of love and pride in this proud fathers eyes, for his first baby out from the nest. This is R2-D2 and his little one. Welcome to the world cutey!

This is my friend who hops up and pecks on my kitchen window as soon as she sees me in the morning. She has a dislocated wing and can't fly. She crosses the road a couple of times a day for a treat. She wanders around the park and is able to hop/climb up trees to the highest and flimsiest of branches to rest. So far she is managing her disability. I noticed her several weeks ago
Bronwyn Hall Had a lovely magpie come & wash himself under the sprinkler whilst I was watering the garden a few weeks ago. He came very close to me, looked me in the eye, fluffed up his feathers & enjoyed the cool water. He then flew to the fence just behind me & serenaded me with his/her beautiful chortling. It was lovely. They are such beautiful creatures
