Hand Feeding a Young Australian Magpie

Hand Feeding a Young Australian Magpie. There are few birds that are as familiar to Australians as the Australian Magpie. This striking black-and-white bird is, according to the experts, a large species of butcherbird. Apart from its widespread distribution — there are few places in Australia where magpies do not occur — the species’ familiarity is probably due equally to its pleasant carolling song, which is such an essential part of the Australian soundscape, and for its tendency to swoop at people during its springtime nesting season. Research featured in the ’State of Australia’s Birds 2015’ headline and regional reports indicates that the Australian Magpie is declining in some regions, while increasing in others. In the East Coast region, reporting rates for this species have declined significantly since 1998. ►SOME OF MY PLAYLISTS: ✅Pets & Animal Friends; ✅VLOGS;https://w
