    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?

  8. XLOR May 2, 2008 8:54 pm

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

    @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?
