Recently I was inside and heard a Common Myna making a strange sound.  Or so I 
thought.

When I looked out the window, a Grey Butcherbird was sitting only 1 metre away 
on the gate.  It proceeded to give a concert
of:

Common Myna
Australian Magpie
Noisy Miner
Eastern Rosella
Pied Currawong

I'm not sure I would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

Cheers and Happy Times with Nature
