The Pied Currawong is a large, mostly black bird, with a bright yellow eye. Small patches of white are confined to the under tail, the tips and bases of the tail feathers and a small patch towards the tip of each wing (visible in flight). The bill is large and black and the legs are dark grey-black. Both sexes are similar, although the female may sometimes be greyer on the underparts. Young Pied Currawongs are duller and browner than the adults. - See more at: http://australianmuseum.net.au/pied-currawong#sthash.7oH6K6gL.dpuf
Beautiful Annie. they have got to be my favourite birds. We have two who regularly call here for food. David calls them my familiars, ha ha. It's time I turned him back into a frog again I think.
thanks everyone - they are pretty cool birds - I love all the raven.currawong and magpie types - they have such style and character
