Amazing Australian Birds-3
Australia has some pretty amazing birds; the swans are
black instead of white, cassowaries are up to metres tall and can kill
a man, Jesus birds that walk on water, little birds that laugh like demented
old witches, and the emu, which recently was declared the world's dumbest
bird in a bird-IQ test by a Canadian scientist.

Magpie
This bird is common throughout Australia and best known for its melodious
song, typically heard at dawn. They also have a nasty habit of swooping
on unsuspecting visitors that come too close to their nests. In Melbourne
these attacks have inspired a website; if you want to minimize the risk
of being attacked riding your bike around Melbourne, there is a website
step-hen.com/magpie
where you can find where the magpies nest and avoid these places.
