One of two magpies who are constant visitors to our garden. They introduce their young each year. Last year they had three offspring. Posted 3 years ago

  Do they ever show interest in shiny items? Steal things? Posted 3 years ago

    Our local satin bowerbird is attracted to blue items but not the magpie. The maggie will pinch coconut matting to add to its nest. Their warble is very melodius. Apparently they can remember up to 100 faces and associate them with kindness or aggression. We never get swooped by them during mating season. Posted 3 years ago
