Australian Birds - More Magpies

Magpies are handsome birds, looking very dapper in their shiny black and white plumage, but their babies tend to look like they've been through the wash one too many times, even in nice weather.

The parent is in the background, and its much greyer looking child is in the foreground.


The youngster follows mum or dad around, learning to hunt.


It's not as easy as it looks, but magpies use their keen sight...


... and good hearing to help them.




And sometimes they meet with success.


All under their parents' very watchful eyes.


And when it's time to go, it's time to go.
