Strictly speaking it's Australian and an invasive pest species but when you get a few singing outside your window it's hard to complain

im suprised enough of them survive.to adulthood
in the past two weeks ive had two magpie fledglings in my backyard. they often leave the nest a few weeks before they're ready to fly, with mummy and daddy magpie calling plaintively in the surrounding trees and looking distressed, giving me the evil eye, their baby squawking and flapping ineffectually around my vegie patch, and my dog going nuts. The first one somehow made it onto the road and got hit by a car, the last one is somewhere behind my shed still not flying
