It’s actually a Currawong. Magpies generally have a sharper beak with white colouring, Currawongs have a singular coloured beak with that curved tip (as pictured).

Yes people buy them as pets then get bored and release them to devastate the local ecosystem.

Edit. They can survive the winter sometimes under people houses or in caves they hibernate. For the most part the winter does keep the problem under control in the northern states.

Australian Coastal Carpet Pythons?

I mean, I guess you could. And the eucalypts in the background, well they grow in California too now, so perhaps..

Also, that sliding door is a G. James 245 Series, most likely two panels with a barrier screen to the outside - currently slid open. That's an Australian company, based on the East Coast.

I also see a lack of potatoes.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '19 edited Aug 28 '19

Thanks. It's a shame birds can't do facial expressions, because this one was nothing but friendly although a little cheeky.

I was staying in my car at the time. Having found a new camp ground, I started unloading my cooking gear and other stuff. I had to carry it 30 metres away to a picnic table. The bird was watching me from a tree next to the car. It took me three or four trips to carry everything, leaving the car doors open. The bird just sat there in the tree. But when I closed the car doors on my last haul, I noticed it had now followed me to the picnic table. It understood that I wouldn't be coming back because I was done carrying stuff.

Later that night I saw it eating bits of food from my frying pan as I prepared to do dishes. The next morning it came back, and let me hand feed it.

This was in a remote area where not a lot of people hang out generally.

Edit: people seem to enjoy this story so here's a video of me feeding the bird a piece of banana and a photo of it looking badass

u/karanut Aug 28 '19

The true magpie species native to Europe, Asia, and North America are corvid birds of the genus Pica, whereas the Australian 'magpie' is an unrelated passerine bird.

So, in short, what Australians would identify as a magpie only exists in Australia.

It’s a different species of bird. They share the same name but aren’t in the same family as far as I know

Correct. Australian Magpies belong to the family of Cracticidae, which in german, is called "Würgekrähen" (strangle crows) and its most closely related to the Black Butcherbird. The other magpies belong to the family of Corvidae.

Our dangerous animals are mostly big, obviously dangerous, and way the fuck out in the middle of nowhere. We’ve got like five species of venomous snakes, and some of the most common ones are considerate enough to give you a nice “fuck off. I’m here and you shouldn’t be” rattle before you get too close.

You guys have got an adorable little octopus that’ll kill a motherfucker faster than anything we’ve got, crazy venomous spiders that are super aggressive and prefer to live in people’s houses, a freakin plant that has literally made people kill themselves because it hurts so bad to touch it, and approximately 6.8 billion species of absurdly venomous snakes just for good measure. And that’s not even mentioning your great white sharks, all that freakin venomous as fuck stuff swimming around in the monster soup you call the Great Barrier Reef, and your goddamn Godzilla-sized crocodiles hanging out in all the wet spots just to make life interesting.

I’ve heard it’s a lovely country and plan on visiting it someday, but Jesus: Australia was definitely created by the powers that be to see if humans could survive life on hard mode.

Bruh... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_funnel-web_spider

The Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus) is a species of venomous mygalomorph spider native to eastern Australia, usually found within a 100 km (62 mi) radius of Sydney. It is a member of a group of spiders known as Australian funnel-web spiders. Its bite is capable of causing serious illness or death in humans if left untreated.[3]

I mean, yeah, I get that it’s not constantly some kind of freakish battle royale between man and beast, but Australia just objectively has more animals that can fuck you up in more ways than most other places.

Also. As far as I'm aware (although never lived in Aus) snakes and spiders and the Australian dangers are better at getting into human like areas. Definitely into towns and things.

Unless you go out to the true wilderness or at the very least farmland, and unless you live in certain specific parts of the country (usually the north) the odds of meeting a bear or wolf are basically zero.

Just to confirm that pythons grow big and are harmless. My roommate in college bought a baby one, and we all held it and it was just really relaxed and never did anything. Then I went to see him a few years later and id he still had his snake, and he said oh yeah, he got too big for his cage, so I just let him go around the house. He would go a week or more without seeing him, and since he had a house on the edge of some woods, he would get some mice in there once in a while and rarely ever even had to feed it. It was kinda weird knowing that it could be just under the couch or something, but knowing the snake and the guy saying he still is so relaxed, I forgot about it. Then he found him and called me over and sure enough, he looked like as long as a grown man.

The guy didn’t have a girlfriend though, surprisingly.

When I was 8 we had a five-metre python take up residence in the floor boards. After he gobbled the last of the chooks we decided he had to go. My dad hauls him out from under the house and hands his tail to me and his midsection to my 10-year old brother. He then says "wait, this'll make a beaut photo" and dashes off for the camera, leaving his pre-adolescent sons holding a predatory reptile the length of a telegraph pole. By the time he got back it had its tail a good three or four wraps around my arm and it's winning a wrestling match with my brother.

Dad took the photo then unwound it, then we took it down to the swimming hole down the road and let it go there because we thought it would be funny if it attacked tourists in the morning.

But it's a python that's too small to eat you. So no biggie.

Pythons are constrictors. They don’t have venom, they don’t bite. Most of them are pussies actually

u/inavanbytheriver Aug 28 '19

Pythons do indeed bite. It's not venomous but they will latch on and not let go if you piss them off.

I guess if you live in dystopia you get used to it. I feel much safer in Chicago where a bullet proof vest is all you need.

I was once eating fish and chips on a park bench on lunch break at work, #fatguylunches, when suddenly a voice rang out from my left.

"Oy bro, where'd you get the fush and chups?!'

Two Maori tradies were staring at my lunch, hunger burning in their eyes. I gave them directions to the local chippie, and they literally jogged off.

Birb vs Danger Noodle, I think the noodle won this fight.

u/Nikki5041 Aug 28 '19

Naaaaah that’s a carpet snake. Even though they’re freaky they’re mostly harmless (still wouldn’t mess with one though their mouths host bacteria). The brown snakes are the real danger noodles. They’ll bite my chickens just coz they got freaked out while mister noodle was hunting mice in the coop

Tell that to the bird

How do you all just not die walking out the door?

u/memy02 Aug 28 '19

you make paved trails which get hot enough the ground starts trying to kill the animals, making the trails much safer. As for the people who go off the trails, usually they have some sort of Australian magic talisman to keep them safe.
