Australian Birds

The Pied Currawong is similar to the Magpie, and is a scavenger which will eat almost anything. We found them very "cheeky" (Aussie slang for "bold and unscrupulous"). One flew down suddenly and tried to knock a sandwich from Jerry's hand. While we were setting up camp one evening, one flew into our car and pulled out a package of crackers.
