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

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.
