Are they aggressive? I'd be scared either way.

:lies:

Contrary to perceived wisdom, tiger snakes are not aggressive.

...generally shy and preferring escape over conflict...

Yeah, very aggressive. I've had one actually chase me.

Yes, for someone who is used to see sparrows, finches and swallows they might seem big, but around here their size, typically somewhere between 30 and 40 centimetres from beak to tail, is not remarkable. They are not much larger than our blackbirds and smaller than our crows, some cockatoos, not to mention emus.

I like them particularly for their songs. The way they harmonise in pairs makes them particularly attractive. Some years ago I filmed this pair of juveniles singing for breadcrumbs.

Let's say I'm more used to pidgeons and sea gulls... though, I AM familiar with corvus corax, and was inclined to believe other members of the family were significantly smaller, whereas, the shown mags, do seem to be close in size to a true raven.

Magpies are not musical well here they are not. They are a pain in the arse and we cant touch them. They are not an urban bird but as with gulls they have found easy pickings.

The Australian Magpie is in a completely different family to the European one. The only thing they have in common is being black and white...

I bet he also hates chickens and turkeys and geese and ducks... but those he can inflict his spite on by eating them.
