Mmmm.... what a lovely selection you get coming to your garden greykangaroo! I think Galahs are such characters and so entertaining. And the Magpies have such a beautiful song, I was just amazed.

Thanks for showing us your garden birds lad.

Yes well this is what can happen if you go inside to answer the phone at feeding time and leave the seed tin open.

They are smart little fellows and know where the food comes from.

You would think the magpies were higher up in the pecking order!

Yes being meat eaters and with that huge beak, but they are not belligerent birds and the corella is near twice as big.

And it looks like they count on your evening meal

It is very difficult to make a magpie do anything. The block your house is on belongs to them as it is part of their patch.
They will go into your house and look in the fridge when you are getting them something.
