    This is a great avian behavioural moment captured! Currently, I have the usual trio of magpies, ravens and currawongs coming to the garden. They all seem to be on edge and fighting a lot more than usual - I'm guessing hormones are raging as it's spring and nesting season? Posted 4 years ago

    We have a couple of magpies who come to the backdoor. The female comes inside and is quite curious! Posted 4 years ago
