What flavor bird is this? Looks like some kind of corvid.

@Kelly @Linda

It’s an Australian magpie, in Australian vernacular a “maggie”. http://www.austmus.gov.au/factsheets/australian_magpie.htm

Cool bird. I think I’ve heard magpies are very smart and can be taught to speak. Is that right?

Looks like a usual Russian crow.
Is that the most popular bird in Australia?

XLOR May 2, 2008 at 8:54 pm

Or this is a rare bird in Australia..didn’t understand.

Des Walsh May 2, 2008 at 9:19 pm

@XLOR: it’s neither popular nor unpopular, except when it’s divebombing people during the nesting season, at which time it is not popular; nor is it rare – what is it you don’t understand?

Interesting bird. Reminds me of our US pigeons. LOL! Hope you enjoy our WW photos.
