Pied Currawong

Description:

The Pied Currawong is a large, mostly black bird, with a bright yellow eye. Small patches of white are confined to the under tail, the tips and bases of the tail feathers and a small patch towards the tip of each wing (visible in flight). The bill is large and black and the legs are dark grey-black. Both sexes are similar, although the female may sometimes be greyer on the underparts. Young Pied Currawongs are duller and browner than the adults.

Habitat:

Pied Currawongs are found throughout eastern Australia, from northern Queensland to Victoria, but is absent from Tasmania. The Pied Currawong prefers forests and woodlands, and has become well adapted to suburban areas. Throughout its range it is common and familiar.

Notes:

This bird was in the same palm as the previous spotting (the brown bird). I wonder if he was after the brown bird .... I thought it was a black currawong, but birds in backyards says that they are only in tasmania?
