I've seen pied Blackbirds on a number of occasions.

I can fairly close to the Noisy thing within a metre so will try when i get a chance.

They always know when there's a gun around,so I have heard.perhaps its the same with cameras ? anything that shots they have a sense of.

I see your pied crow and blue budgie and raise you a white Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo ......complete with beautiful yellow wash cheeks and tail feathers........has been spoteed for years around Wauchope, especially the Golf course and the Forestry Commission Office carpark ;) ......havent seen him for the last two years though.......saw it feeding young once.....

We've got a couple of light brown Magpies around here. Think the Cockatoo wins so far though.

well. there is a magpie in lathlain that is smokey grey where the black should be and blue 28 s near elcabello road house but i raise your white yellow tail cocky with a yellow 28 that my mate at the ag deptment shot in donny brook thinking it was a ringneck all the green was yellow the pic was amazing but it was back in the darkages just as digital came out so no pic to be found much to mate mates disgust...pete

Cuse my ignorance....blue 28s and yellow 28

Note to self....get a gun and a dig camera

28 Parrot.....bit like a Port Lincoln

If you are wondering, I believe 'Twenty-eight' is an onomatopoeic name derived from their call.
