[@pameladowe5330]

I was feeding our neighbourhood Magpies this morning. Suddenly a very large grey bill pushed itself into the meat being proffered. It was a brown Kookaburra inviting himself to breakfast, I had to hand feed him so he could throw his head back to swallow. Such a gentle bird he was careful to take it softly from my fingers. The Wildlife carers must have raised and released him. There are about 10 who fly in a group in our area, and they certainly make the neighbourhood ring with their chortles and chuckles!

One of the most amazing is the lyrebird. A good but dense book on Australia’s bird life is ‘Where Song Began’ it posits that our bird life is based on the abundance of sun, relatively infertile solid and the mass production of sugar by our flora. This contributed to the diverse, competitive and aggressive bird life.

He said, "You're kidding."

i was brought here by my search for what a baby magpie's song sounds like after hearing one outside my window sing the most beautiful tune i've heard a bird sing here in Aus. until now i had no idea magpie's sounded that way (don't judge me!). it reminded me so much of my fav bird song the Tui (new zealand bird) sings & it caught me off guard. (coming from nz a lot of our birds songs are super "melodic" & beautiful & not screechy or sqwarky at *all*, compared to how a lot of the bird tunes i hear in aus are. this is not a dig btw, just my observation). so when i heard my little magpie friend singing his song so beautifully & quite loudly too might i add lol i immediately had to investigate as to whom did this beautiful tune belong that was able to cut through some very loud mental noise occuring in my head at that time.. when i found him he was high up in a tree & i just sat & listened & watched him, smiling to myself in deep gratitude for him/his song. then he flew off & i suddenly realised my through-the-roof stress & anxiety levels had all but pretty much disappeared. what an amazing blessing & moment that was. thank you dear magpie friend 🙏🏼❤️✨

[@emperorofpluto]

Aww I love magpies. Super intelligent. And I love their warbling song. Apparently you can teach them to talk but it involves splitting the tip of their tongue (which sounds really cruel to me). I rescued a juvenile a few years back and she brings her whole family back to visit every time they have a new baby

[@Beanick]

Thanks for your comment! I believe that suggestion about splitting the tongue originated with crows, but I'm almost certain it's an urban myth. Magpies don't use their tongues to make sounds, they use their dual larynx which is an anatomical variation not commonly found in birds, but it is responsible for that beautiful warbling you mention. As for "talking", magpies are very good mimics and I've often heard a visiting maggie enunciate a familiar word or two.

[@emperorofpluto]

Nique Think you're right about crows. I've also heard the thing about splitting the end of the tongue with mynor birds, which are also highly intelligent and when bonded to a human can be taught to talk. But I love the way juvenile birds of different species can be so friendly towards one another. Baby magpies are so cute - except when they follow you around squawking for food. My first rescue magpie would always bring her kids back for a visit every season once they've fledged - when they're still clumsy and covered in down - and that was when I was living in an apartment building so the constant squawking used to drive the neighbours mental.

[@Carorawoodlands]

We used to have a beautiful family of magpies at our old home. The parents were amazing. I once witnessed the mother discipline one baby as he was playing with a dried leaf. He rolled over on his back while the mother pecked him and took the lead off him. It was sad but amazing to see.. then when the mother walked away the baby went back and grabbed his dried leaf and carried it around a while as if to say I still have it! It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. It was like watching humans rouse on their children at the shops
