The singer and the song

G'day all

Along the street today I came across this one-legged singer quite relaxed about warbling to all and sundry

First s/he gave me a second look before deciding that I was a spectator

G'day mate

It's the Australian Magpie ... and I'm told elsewhere that with the white back feathers, the above is a male

The maggie is a very popular Aussie icon, its singing is well known and family groups of 1/2-dozen or so are widely seen across Oz.  Highly intelligent, but they can be tamed easily and many people will offer minced meat on their house balcony - occasionally one reads a story about one that will land on your arm while it sings to you
