The butcher birds had a long conversation with each other while they were taking turns at the sausage bits today. Nice to feel them getting more relaxed in my presence. But they took flight at the sight of the new fella on the block...
Look at the raptor talons on this bad boy...
He was too cautious for hand feeding (and so was I, I think). He is not a Magpie as Reddog will tell you despite his black and white markings. He is in fact a Currawong and a magnificent bird he is
The Butcher Birds were at the back of the line perched on the fence while this monster had his fill
Hope to see him again but I am not sure about the wisdom of trying to hand feed this fella!
