AUSTRALIAN MAGPIE 

2ND EDITION

BIOLOGY AND BEHAVIOUR OF AN UNUSUAL SONGBIRD

By Gisela Kaplan

2020

The Australian magpie is one of our nation's most popular and iconic birds.

It is loved for its impressive vocal abilities, propensity to play, excellent parenting

and willingness to form enduring friendships with people.

This second edition is a thoroughly updated and substantially expanded account of 

the behaviour of these birds. With new chapters on classification, cognition and caring

for young, it reveals the extraordinary capabilities of the magpie, including its complex

social behaviour: The author, who has devoted more than 20 years to studying and interacting

with magpies, brings together the latest research on the magpie's biology and behaviour,

along with information on the origin of magpies, their development and health not published

previously.
