Described as one of Australia's most accomplished songbirds,the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. It is omnivorous,with the bulk of its varied diet made up of invertebrates. It is generally sedentary and territorial throughout its range. Common and widespread,it has adapted well to human habitation and is a familiar bird of parks,gardens and farmland in Australia and New Guinea. This species is commonly fed by households around the country,but in spring (and occasionally in autumn) a small minority of breeding magpies (almost always males) become aggressive,swooping and attacking those who approach their nests. Research has shown that magpies can recognise at least 100 different people,and may be less likely to swoop individuals they have befriended.
