The Australian Magpie is black and white, but the plumage pattern varies across its range. Its nape, upper tail and shoulder are white in males, grey in females. Across most of Australia, the remainder of the body is black. In the south-east, centre, extreme south-west and Tasmania, the back and rump are entirely white.
The Australian Magpie has one of the world’s most complex bird songs. A loud musical flute-like song, often performed as a duet or by groups. An uncommon alternative name for the Australian Magpie is Flute Bird

This Magpie is a baby and walked all around my top verandah squawking it’s head off until I hand fed it, no sign of its mum.
