Hi,

They challenge the Grey Butcherbirds in Bilgola too. Though I have to say the bitcherbirds go all day while Magpie is pretty much morning only.

Cheers

Alan

Heaps of Magpies warbling in the mornings at our place at North Rocks (near Parramatta, Sydney). THere is a large family that lives around our townhouse complex and they are quite used to people. I don't feed them but do have a bird bath that they come to. I have been regularly serenaded while eating my breakfast 2 metres from them on the verandah. They may be common but it is a beautiful way to start the morning. Especially when the Grey Butcherbird goes off as well!

Cheers
Dave

I've just been asked another question by a non-birder that has me stumped. I remember as a youngster hearing magpies doing a pleasant warble, often in the morning. But I can't ever remember hearing them around Sydney. Is this because there is just too much background noise? Is it because they don't warble? Or am I just not hearing it for some other reason?

Would love to know what others think, what happens in other cities.
