The Streets of Melbourne

This curious fella came out and looked me up and down when photographing flowers near his home in #McKinnon #Australia late last week.

He/she picked up a piece of bread from the grass and methodically walked away, slowly after assessing I was no threat.

I saw another #magpie earlier in my travels and broke open a packet of crackers I had in the car for lunch but that one didn’t want a bar if it. Was probably hankering for meat!

Looking at that clever #magpie makes me think that a #corvid world tour would be pretty awesome.

Travel to different countries, spend time with the local #raven, #rook, #crow, #bluejay, and other #corvid communities, try to befriend one or two, see what's similar and different between them.

@jovikowi what a wonderful idea. I reckon @Witchy_Minx may wanna tag along too. She has a connection with all these gorgeous creatures!

@NessaUndreza we live opposite a park that gets inundated by pink & greys and magpies. The magpies bring their babies over into our yard every year and they are so cheeky. If we ignore them they get onto the back of the chairs and tap on the windows.

@Developit oh that is soo coool! They have personalities the size of Texas huh? They’re such switched in birds. They seem to know the deal and how to communicate with us. Non verbally mostly of course! And know then’safe’ soaces and those that oblige with snacks. But they’re terrific creatures!

@NessaUndreza I’m sure I have a video of them somewhere. I did find this photo from 2019
