Maggies usually hang out in family groups of the parents, a grownup kid or two, and the current babies (which have a mottled grey pattern). The grownup kids are usually from last year's hatching and help to raise their new baby siblings. Magpies find worms and witchetty grubs by listening to the ground and digging them up. They also like stealing human food, dog food, chook food, etc. They're not really interested in shiny stuff like European magpies (which like shiny things like all corvids). When they're babies they enjoy play fighting with each other  e: here are some pics for top o' the page  parent magpie  young magpie (and a bunch of poop) preparing to eat all the chook food  These are happy jacks, also known as apostlebirds, CWA birds, happy families, etc. They hang out in big family groups, usually one breeding pair, their relatives, and a couple of babies. All of the adults work together to help find food for the babies. In that picture, there is one baby who is being fed by a relative. (The adult bird is sticking its head into the baby's mouth.) They are VERY LOUD and also very smart. They like humans and enjoy playing with and teasing them. Games I have seen them playing include swinging around on branches (going upside down and back up again in a circle), playing "bird soccer" with macadamia nuts still in their shell, and biting parrots on the bottom. They're smart enough to know that hoses only work when humans are around and the difference between a stick and a gun. When they're looking for grass seeds, they all get together and walk in a line like people in a search party. CROWS EVERYWHERE fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Oct 24, 2015 |

I liked the bit where he started doing all the laughs he knew, and then... the laughing... intensified...  Max is best when he's being a creepy little warlockatoo.

Here's a video of a magpie I filmed in Perth imitating sounds like a boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBsEj2sz0qE worth watching through, but especially from about 2.45 when he/she goes on a mad run including seagull, car alarm, dog

The horrible sounds they make when they're upset about a camera shoved in their face doesn't help. That noise they make could be lifted without modification and put into a horror movie/game. If you didn't know it came from really cute owls, it is really terrifying and alien.

Messing around with that thing would give me bird phobia  It looks like an old horror movie with graphics that are so awkwardly bad they loop around to being creepy again.
