Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-11 00:00:00 Michael Haverty Australians have just voted the magpie as their favourite bird, though I think I prefer the pink and grey galah for its wild sense of play. the white-backed magpie male. Magpies are widespread across the country; have adapted to urbanisation reasonably well; are strongly territorial which must cause problems when they migrate seasonally; very intelligent with long memories, and can clearly distinguish between humans, remembering those they like and those they don't. We have a family whose territory crosses our large garden into the neighbour's and we can observe them close up most of the year, especially in spring when they have babies and teach them to hear worms and grubs under our lawn. we don't need to aerate it, the magpies do that for us. Kaplan has studied Australian magpies for years. This book is wonderfully informative and highly recommended for anyone interested in bird behaviour and intelligence.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-10 00:00:00 Alan White My husband and I are a bit nutty about our local birds and we live in Victoria, Australia; so we find Gisela Kaplan's books a pleasure to read. They are scholarly without being dry and beautifully presented. Birds are so much more fascinating and intelligent than many or perhaps most people suppose, and some of our Australian birds are the brightest of the bright, with quite complex songs and social arrangements. I highly recommend both The Australian Magpie and Bird Minds.
