Friendly and inquisitive, the Magpie and their song are  enjoyed across all of Australia. Nesting in tall trees, they pace and hunt methodically at ground level, listening for the vibration of insects, bugs and small critters. Pairing for life, couples help to form a small tribe to protect their home, while joining a larger flock to defend their territory. Their repertoire of calls can act as a watchdog for surrounding wild life, warning all of intruders and danger.
