Post by: Biggles on December 10, 2013, 10:12:40 AM

Here's a young feller with taste.  My visiting Maggie feels right at home on an ST.

"Funny" you should say that!  Makes me think it's not a "he" after all.

Confirmed by her tendency towards the pillion seat:

That would be "Butcher Bird".
A "Magpie" is quite different, as the photo clearly shows.    :Stirpot

A Pied Butcher Bird...as opposed to a Grey Butcher Bird...

Thanks for the more specific identification.   And just to set  the record straight, the other is a White Backed Australian Magpie, as distinct from the Black Backed sub-species.

I don't give wild birds a ride on my bike,  only the odd stray pussy.

I'm a bit of an animal sometimes - and I ride my bike - does that count?

Darn, and I've been conversing with her in my fluent "Magpie".
No wonder we have been at cross purposes.

I called her "Butch", so she said, "Move over, I'm driving..."

Since the Header says "Magpie", I thought I'd better show they visit also.
