Identification
Large, black, crow-sized bird with large black bill and yellow eyes. In flight, white rump (most subspecies), undertail, tail tip, and primary bases distinctive. Gray Currawong lacks white rump and has narrow pale trailing edge to wing. Smaller Australian Magpie extensively white in upperparts. Common in woodlands and parks, foraging singly, in pairs, or groups from ground level to treetops. Variably fluting song that may sound a bit like “curr-a-wong.”
