Did you know Magpies partner up for life, if only some humans could be just as faithful!
Magpie's can hold the same territory for up to 20 years.
They remember faces and sing one of the most complicated bird songs in the world.
Magpies can hear the sound of grubs and worms under the ground. Just too clever!
It is believed that a Magpie is a good judge of character and will befriend you if you are deemed a nice person!
Angela must be nice as this pair have been visiting her for the last 8 years, they like to hang out, warble and even ask for a shower on a hot day.
Hurrah for Magpies, they are just too cool!
Photography notes: Photographed in the wild, no flash was used.
Did you know Magpies around Australia have different back markings?
On the east coast, Mrs Magpie is on the left and you can tell the difference bewteen male and female by the male having a white neck and the female more grey. Mrs Magpie also has more white on her wings.
On the West Coast and Victoria, Male magpies will have a white back and the females a black and white pattened back.
