Alice, they are very territorial and will attack without hesitation
Yes Alice their presence in gardens is always spectacular.
Do they still set their territories in Sidney by the block. They were wonderful to watch seemingly guarding us or their territory from above.
That's really cool, Australian magpies look so different to the ones here in England. And the magpies here don't warble, just squawk!!
Yes they have sweet voice..in India too.
Ashish, no they don't mimic other birds but they have a lovely warble though
Magpie Robin ? Do they mimicking other bird's voices..?
In India they do it often...
