Mostly black bird with bright yellow eyes and small patch of white under the tail.
The Pied Currawong prefers forests and woodlands, and has become well adapted to suburban areas.

Thanks Mark, we will have another chick stealers coming soon this spring from Papua or Indonesia (channel-billed cucko). Every year I can hear their distinct call and all the smaller bird will chase it away from their nest. I hope I can get their picture when it comes.
Good spotting SukesihGuna. I like these birds although they are slightly intimidating by their size and they are notorious as chick stealers from other species during spring.
