In Brooklyn a magpie fell out the best , all the adult magpies in the district brought him up feeding him worms babysitting him until he could fly. That's the name we called him Fly.

6:32 that's super interesting, microbiomes are underrated.

great vid!

Absolutely fascinating! Love Magpies, always have done 🙏

Love your videos!! So informative and funny.

Very interesting and I love your Aussie humour!

The Aussies who built our highways here in NZ planted eucalyptus alongside them, resulting in a certain type of eucalyptus being a common site now. Not sure what kind they are but theyre tall, pushing 100 years old now and their bark is beginning to fall on most of them showing a smooth whit trunk underneath

The Indian Mynas are almost gone from our area now (Georges River). Funnily enugh though the Noisy Miner's arent very aggressive here.

This guy is an idiot, with some of the best corn-ball comments and the natural world - AND, I love every minute of it! 😂

We have a magpie that is mean as hell and swoops us at the paragliding landing site in Bright. Not much fun trying to concentrate on landing while being attacked. It's a pretty aggressive fella and hits hard, resulting in plenty of cuts. There is bread all over the landing site, and people are trying to get it in their favour, throwing it whilst coming in to land!! Interesting observed fact from the paragliding community. Magpies go for our heads, whilst eagles go for the wing. Pretty terrifying when an eagle is screaming and attacking, putting big tears in the canopy. Not all do it, there are others which happily share a thermal with you!

I've read that 'Gulp' is also a collective noun for magpies. I saw one ride a dove/pigeons with the grey plumage and head crest into the turf recently. It wanted to keep harassing the dove/pigeon but was immediately surrounded by about eight Noisy Miners. God they're annoying.

Protect this man at all costs

Well done, great and clever narration, cheers

How to tell gender(according to me): Blockhead=Male Roundhead=female :>

Thank you for an enjoyable look at Magpies

Incredible birds. I presume you know the various folklore surrounding them in England.

The area around my place seems to be ideal territory for a pair of magpies. In the 20+ years we have been her there has always been a pair in residence. Not the same pair. Sadly there have been several upheavals, such as death defending the nest, presumably from owls. In the nesting season, the females often look harassed and half-starved, and we are happy to help out. (They particularly love dry dog or cat food.) The current pair have been here for a few years, without managing to raise a chick to maturity. House training our puppy, and taking her outside very early, before sunrise, I was delighted and puzzled by a soft, unfamiliar call coming from the top of big gum where the maggies had their nest. It was a simple eight note melody, repeated in call and response form, ending on a pitch up the first time, and resolving with a pitch down in the response. I memorised it, and now whistle it when I have something for them. The female always arrives almost instantly. Since the dog learned to sleep in, I don't get up before dawn, so maybe I'll never hear it again. I just uploaded a recording here: studio.ua-cam.com/users/video-1HmUNwHZJk/edit

I love the magpies for their beautiful song and intelligence. Thank you for this delightful video. Love reading all the wonderful experiences people have with the magpies.

The first recognizable object that my daughter ever drew, on paper, was a magpie. At the age of two. It was a magpie walking on the ground, where she saw them all day, every day.

I work in a warehouse, i have a magpie walk all the way over 100m to see me, well.. It knows i have sunflower seeds, it will recognise me even with many other staff around me, i walk it back over to a grass area, where it calls out to its other 2 magpies, once ive dropped some seed, they will break out in song... Its the most beautiful song ever.. :)

We've travelled through Australia for many months each time and really miss its beautiful, characterful birds. I especially love hearing the Magpies in the early mornings, love hearing the Kookaburas and seeing them in woodland clearings, love hearing and seeing the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos and seeing the bright flashes of the parrots. Oh, and hearing the Bell Birds up the east coast. Thank you for this video, although it also made me homesick for Australia: the jewel we love to visit when health permits!

Awesome video, and funny too. Just one comment. The female maybe the primary carer of the chicks, but I've noticed in my local park, a very large male helping the female, either by watching over the chicks or showing them how to find food. I've seen him walking about, stopping to make sure the chicks are watching, then finding a juicy worm, shaking it and then leaving it behind for the chicks to rush and take it. Very clever, not quite feeding them like the female, but finding food for them and letting them learn from him. I've only seen it with them in our local park, but there is another family two streets back, and they often visit as a family our backyard, and the male is always keeping overwatch over the young ones, while the female flies in and out with food for them. Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

I always compare the call of an Australian raven to an old lady.😂 and when I see one getting chased by some magpies they sound appropriately panicked and that makes me laugh. I wish I could somehow befriend one.

fun fact: kookaburra's will steal bbq meat if you are not paying attention, they can both walk and wait; ask for it or just swoop

oh mate, bin chickens so angry right now

Yeah those lorikeets can be real bullies. Seen them bully cockatoos away even though they’re bigger you’d think the cockatoos would be bossy. Lorikeets have small bird syndrome. Funny Aussie bird story I have is when I saw was when I was watching a cockatoo eating some seed block and a corella was trying to get some but the cockatoo wouldn’t share. Eventually the cockatoo left the seeds to chase the corella away only for the other corella to come in and take the seeds. They were working together one as bait and one to steal! And then the two corellas enjoyed the seeds together and the cockatoo just sadly watched it’s food be taken. Considering they usually come in big groups and take the food for themselves (we got less crimson rosellas once the cockatoos found the stash) can’t feel too sorry for it.

The combo of dry humour and information is perfect!! Keep up the good work!

i have a few noisy miners in my basement 😄

This is one the best and most informative documentaries I have ever watched.

Mourning doves in North America also make that whistle noise when they are startled

Magpies are cheeky - if you leave your door open they will fly inside and ask for food.

Love magpies a lot. They also make these amazing grunting noises too. They also make a sustained call when trying to locate their mob. One of my local magpies hops on my lap when I visit her ❤ They also have a very keen eye for organic walnuts when I'm eating them during my hikes. They're full of character and very cheeky also. As real as Vegemite.

I had a neighbour who nurtured an abandoned baby magpie. He used to hold crackers in his mouth and the little bird would nibble on it while purched on his shoulder. The little bird would rest on the heads of party guests, utterly trusting in human company. The bird matured and would go away for a while, but always returned, announcing his arrival by pecking on the kitchen window. The bird met his end when a gun enthusiast living next door shot him for pleasure.

the fun facts went past too quickly to read them all. I was swooped on my bicycle, pre helmets, and it drew blood. I was most wary for many years after

I love your narration, very much like Turnah81. Lots of info and hilarity to boot ❤️❤️❤️👍

I hated their caws and bloody intelligence. I worked construction traffic management and if I was at a place more than 2 days the crows would’ve already sussed out where my lunch was stashed AND work out how to get it. Yup that bloody Perth caw had me shuddering lol

I had a pair of Wagtails in my back yard in Perth. The male would come down to the outside table while we were sitting there and after he got our attention, he would scream at us! Nearly shit myself the first time! He was very brazen from then on and was totally unfazed by us. He would join us on rainy days out there and chatter for ages on the undercover clothes line I had strung up under the patio. They cleaned up all the big blackberry spiders we had and they successfully raised a few chicks to fledges. Also had a pair of doves in another tree ❤️. Now I live in Auckland NZ and I have Tui, Kereru, pukeko, fantails and a pair of grey herons (as well as all the common garden birds i.e sparrows mynahs, blackbirds, thrushes and of course magpies). Birds are amazing in Australia for sure. The Black Cockatoo surprised me with how big it was and how LOUD a tree of them fighting can be. Confession:- my son used to be late to school some days in the winter because we would park up and watch the Galahs being galahs on the powerlines. Clown birds he used to call them. They unintentionally did tricks on the lines. 🤣. Ah happy days. 🥰

I Loved this video, thanks❤

‘The derros’? Wtf? Bad form…

Enjoyed ! You're so funny too. Syphilis 😂 ❤Nana in Queensland

Man are Whipbirds not common I've not stopped hearing them the entire time I've been here!

All of these birds live in my outer suburban neighboured, along with quite a few others including Common Bronzewing pigeons with their haunting call, and utterly spectacular Yellow tailed Black Cockatoos. We are so blessed to have such amazing bird life…the dawn chorus is amazing and leaves you in no doubt that you are in Australia.

The Noisy Miner is the key to getting all the other birds down. They have saved my mother twice in the garden as they were loosing their shit the Jack Russel took notice and killed a Red Bellied Black Snake right at her hands and feet. We always shared everything with the Noisy Miners. We never had the bad experiences that they are being blamed for. They have the heart of a lion and will defend with a combined strike where every other bird won’t even come close. Eg. An owl. N-Miners will make contact where no others will. Their food needs are small and their gratification and thanks are huge. 🫡✨🐦

19 this morning...AARRUGHH.

As a Postie I had a maggie that would walk up one side of the street hiding behind shrubs,power poles,etc.On the other side of the street it would hit my helmet with rocks.Each year it would train its young to do the same ,other posties would inform me of a new maggie doing the same on their runs.Magpies are an astounding bird smart and at times vindictive as my bald headed fellow postie will attest.

Fabulous birds and tough as. They'll stand within @ 100mm of B-Doubles thundering by and not flinch. And they will only attack when territory is breached. I know of someone who had one as a pet and it'd wait patiently as the fish were being gutted. And on the say-so it'd devour the guts n all. And was friendly with their Doberman. Heaven help any burglar going to their place.

whaaaa... there are other species of ibis??!! also, yea, mucus filled kazoo is such a perfect description 😂
