Must be the season for warbling. A couple of families currently warble
for hours around my place in NE Adelaide. Sounds great, and like Philip
says, don't worry about the why, it's just the sounds they make, just
like any other bird call.

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

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
