You could easily mistake these birds for Magpies until you notice that they’re smaller and stockier and have a clearly hooked beak. These birds have a beautiful call and it’s worth pausing to listen when they’re in full song.
The Grey Butcherbird is known for its methodical hunting technique, often perching silently before pouncing on ground-dwelling prey. It feeds alone, in pairs, or in small family groups, and is known to store uneaten food in tree forks or impale it for later consumption. It is also known to ambush other foraging birds.
