HI
About Wollongoong and the south coast I have only ever recorded the E
Koel chick being raised by Red Wattlebirds in the 20 years or so they
have become common, all the while Little Wattlebirds and Magpie-larks
are common to very common but not recorded as hosts.
As Channel-billed Cuckoos like Pied Currawongs as hosts here maybe an
Australian Magpie is close enough at times.
Cheers Chris

Hi Bill,
HANZAB doesn't list Australian Magpie as a host. The three most recorded
parasitized birds were friarbirds, figbirds and magpie-larks. Red Wattlebird
was listed too. This was published in 1999, so before the big wave of range
expansion into Victoria we have seen in the past decade, so perhaps wattlebirds
are parasitized more often in Victoria?

Hi all, Bill here
Following my post about Koels, I’ve had a question about whether they
parasitise Magpies. I thought they concentrated on larger honeyeaters.
Does anyone know? I don’t have HANZAB to hand, unfortunately.
