General Description:
The pied currawong is a song-bird found in the Eastern states of Australia. There are six different subspecies. They are crow, or raven-like birds, and their habits and diet fill a niche commonly filled by other corvids. They are primarily arboreal foragers. Currawongs are intelligent, curious birds; and are known for their distinctive calls, and melodious songs. Currawongs will happily steal food from other birds and animals (including raptors), and are parasitised by the channel-billed cuckoo.
