I have just witnessed an interesting incident on my front doorstep. I
heard a commotion outside the front of the house, with loud squawking
from several bird species. Thinking that one of the local cats was
trying to catch a bird, I went to the front door for a look. There at
the bottom of the front steps, was a Common Mynah bailed up between the
step and the wall, receiving a real flogging from a Magpie. The Maggie
was attended by his second, a Noisy Miner who was regularly ducking in
to put the boot (beak) in, whenever the Mynah looked like getting out
from the corner. It appeared to be quite a well co- ordinated attack. I
had not seen the two native species working together like this before.
My presence at the screen door was noticed, and the Mynah took advantage
of the distraction, and exited with haste, stage left, hotly pursued by
Maggie and Miner. An interesting entertainment to start the day.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
