Brings together everything we know about the biology and behaviour of this unusual species. It includes the latest research on magpie vocalisation and aspects of anatomy, physiology, development and health not previously published. This research spans 6 years with more than 6000 hours of observation of free-ranging magpies and nest sites. The book features a completely new perspective on this much-maligned Australian icon; unravels the complex family and social behaviour; and combines rigorous academic research with hundreds of hours of personal observation by the noted author.
