An young Australian Magpie at CREEC, Burpengary, showing why it is also called a 'flute bird'

@anathema_device Wow they sound so much different than the Black-Billed Magpies I have here! :)

@WillCOPhoto Ours are only very distantly related to European and American magpies. They're not corvids. People are always surprised that our magpies are actually songbirds :)
