Bird ID Request What bird is this?

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?

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

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.

Our favourite bird: Australian Magpie!

35 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!

Video Cockatoos vs ravens, a friendly match

54 Upvotes

[Before the video: A raven arrived in the middle of a row of cockatoos; the cockatoos eyed the interloper up and down, but weren't too fussed; eventually the cockatoos departed, more out of boredom than anything else; another raven arrived.] Now on video: The cockatoos decide to reclaim their perch! The strategy seems to be simply to pile into the line-up until it becomes too uncomfortable for the ravens.

This little fella found me today. Seems to be too young to fly any distance and mum doesn't appear to be around. It's walked up to me a few times, seems friendly enough. It's perched near the front door at the moment - looks like it wants to come inside. I don't think it knows how to catch food yet. Should I give it something to eat/drink?
