On Aussie Magpies

They sing in the daytime, nightfall and daybreak And sometimes at night them by their songs none should not mistake The flute like notes of the Aussie magpie melodious and clear The birds who do sing every day of the year The black and white birds the size of a medium sized crow So little about them i can claim to know Though i see them often many times every day They live in small family groups since this is their way For their aggressive behavior towards other birds and humans at their breeding time they are well known One might say of them that they have ways of their own They kill smaller birds which they pluck for to eat It runs in their family the fondness of meat Still they do have quite a beautiful song And by voice alone one could not get them wrong.
