One more for my gray theme of the day... Gray Currawong (Strepera versicolor). I love the big and bold #currawongs They're like a grackle on steroids! π #BirdingAustralia
There are 12 species of birds found nowhere else in the world but Tasmania. This is one of them.. the Black Currawong (Strepera fuliginosa) #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #currawongs
Pied Currawong (Strepera graculina). It's hard for me not to think of the Currawongs as a small crow or a giant grackle, but they are not related to the corvids or icterids. More closely related to woodswallows and butcherbirds. #BirdingAustralia #BirdingMelbourne #currawongs #BirdingVictoria
Another Tasmanian endemic.. Black Currawong (Strepera fuliginosa). If you crossed a raven with a grackle, this is what you might get. π Dig that crazy beak! π² #BirdingAustralia #BirdingTasmania #currawongs

π Pied currawong (Strepera graculina) The pied currawong is a mostly black bird with white patches on its wings and tail. It has bright yellow eyes and a strong, heavy bill. These birds are native to eastern Australia and can be found in forests, woodlands, and even urban parks and gardens. They're adaptable and intelligent, often seen foraging for food in pairs or small groups. Pied currawongs are known for their loud, distinctive calls, a mix of whistles and harsh notes. They're omnivores, feeding on insects, fruits, and even small animals. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) π·: Photo by pen_ash via Pixabay METP
