Apr 14, 2010 - The one with the odd voice is probably a teenager still working on his song, it takes them a couple of years to get it right. I have one that sings in the middle of the night, I thought it was stupid until one night I found out what it was singing about. It had worked out that the street light in front of the house attracts bugs and was telling his mates about it.

May 16, 2010 - I looked up magpies because I have heard that some believe they may be self-aware, and they, being small and being birds, really don't seem to fit the bill of other self-aware animals.  I changed my mind, however, when I heard these speaking plain English-"I want! want! I want! I want! I want!"

May 3, 2011 - Cool, it's doing a bit of mimicry as well as its usual call (sounds like mimicry of a woman!)

Sep 13, 2011 - G'day n0tepad,I've just posted a video response from my channel titled "Meet Crippy.She's Australia's friendliest wild Magpie" I'm not really clued up on how to use all the youtube features,especially this video response one.Even though I've posted a fair few vids I'm only really capable of posting unedited videos.And hoping they don't get any dreaded error flags. My query is that I can't see the video response I just posted.Can you help out an old Aussie Magpie birdbrained geezer with this.

Sep 28, 2011 - They're beautiful. I have frequent visits from certain magpies in my local area. That particular one sounds like it is imitating some speech or song that he has heard from another human.

SirKendalMintcake mowi:

Oct 11, 2011 - He's going through his mimickry list! At 0:30, he's imitating a red wattle bird, then he's trying to imitate a human talking, then a wolf-whistle. I'm not too sure about the last bit around 0:35 - possibly a lapwing, but they often make that squeaky noise before and after their mimickry session! Mimickry is a sure sign of intelligence!

n0tepad mowi:

Oct 11, 2011 - the two nearest (to the camera) magpies were females. i called one walkie because she had a bent leg and walked funny and the other one i called talkie because she was the one that makes all those strange sounds. this video was filmed more than 5 years ago now. walkie died just last week. i saw her on the side of the road and brought her home for a garden burial. shes buried under a young trident maple. talkie is still with us but walkie was by far the friendliest and i notice her missing now.
