Pied Butcherbird

Hi Elizabeth

I believe it is a Grey Butcherbird,

not a Pied.

Don't worry - a successful breeding event of Grey Butcherbirds in Canberra is well worth reporting.

We have a pied butcherbird (I think) with 3 beautiful babies in our garden in Hellyer Street Holder.  The babies are well developed but still calling for food and hiding in the foliage while the parent - presumably mother, finds and brings back food.
