The Australian Magpie is a black and white bird. According to experts it is a large species of butcher bird,
and is well known for its pleasant songs and the tendency to swoop people during spring.
It is a common species that is found throughout Australia including Tasmania.
They can be found in most areas expect densest forest and arid deserts.
Groups of up to 24 birds can live together all year round,
protecting their feeding, roosting and nesting grounds.
The Australian Magpie will walk along the ground feeding on insects and larvae.
The bird will also take handouts from humans and will venture into open houses to beg for food.

aggressive towards any intruders that approach their nest, this includes humans.
The nest is situated 15 meters above ground.
