The Silver Billed Magpies

I often hear them singing on a moonlit night And in the gray dawn and the fading twilight The silver billed magpies birds I often do hear In fact they do sing every day of the year Their familiar notes one can never get wrong The black and white birds with the beautiful song For their aggressive nature they are quite well known But as songsters they are in a class of their own It can be said of them in bravery they do not lack At nesting time even humans they've been known to attack, Insects, worms, slugs, mice and small birds they do kill and eat To their taste buds such things must taste very sweet Near where humans live they are happy to stay The Australian magpies I see them every day.
