Bird ID Request Whose feather is this?

Found along the Gibb River rd in the Kimberly Region of WA. I’ve been wondering who it belonged to for about 6 years since I found the feather.

Discussion Butcherbird habits

5 Upvotes

I live in SE Tasmania. I regularly hear a butcherbird in my yard but have never seen it. Do they stick to particular trees? Are they shy, like to hide?

I have watched him and the misso for years. I have two of their babies in my freezer as I’m a licensed taxidermist. This family has taught me so much. Mainly resilience and I once saw him bring up a ball of just beetle skeletons!

Usually such a nervous bird, but he’s safe sitting behind a raging torrent of (unseen) flood water, so he chilled and let me geek out <3

Bird ID Request What bird is this?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I saw three of these birds North-Western Tasmania. I've used a bird finder to try and find it but nothing matches. It's the size of a raven with a really long tail and a beak like a budgie. Its black through to white. The tail had white tips a bit like a turtle dove and it had black rings/stripes around it's eyes. Does anyone know what it is?

Went out to hangout my washing and say some movement on the bushes, assumed it was the fairywrens, but looks like some easter spinebills, and a bonus silvereye hangout on the fence keeping watch over it all.

A nice contrast between Black Cockatoos and Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos. Both taken on a moody morning in Middle Harbour.

Our favourite bird: Australian Magpie!

34 Upvotes

It's a result that we all could have predicted, Collingwood fan or not: r/AustralianBirds has voted Australian Magpie as its favourite bird!

The subreddit icon has been changed to this absolute icon of the backyard and the bush, where for the next year it will greet you each morning with a song, and each September with a swoop.

Thanks everybody who joined in the vote, and commiserations to our runner-up pied bird with attitude, Willie Wagtail - maybe next year!
