G'day All

Many years ago I saw an Australian Magpie kill a fledgling Yellow-rumped Thornbill, eat its brain and then fly off.


Cheers

I have now checked HANZAB which lists small passerines and some non-passerines in the diet of the Australian Magpie. Richard's(Australasian) Pipit and pardalote are both listed. Some of thesewould be as carrion (roadkills etc.).
I am not totally convinced that all attacks by Magpies on pipitsconstitute foraging as I have witnessed this on dozens of occasionsbut have never observed a kill.
