   @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?

8. XLOR May 2, 2008 8:54 pm

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

9. Des Walsh May 2, 2008 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?
