Black with some white on wings and tails about the size of a crow
And yellow eyes most people of them do know
In forested regions of south eastern Australia they are not rare
Their loud currawong calls makes one of their presence unaware
Pied currawong are birds that to many are known
Some of them wary of humans and with ways of their own
They rob the nests and kill the young of small birds and kind things few of them do say
And eat fruit and small life forms hunt and kill for prey
The female bird builds flat nest of sticks lined with soft material on high branch of tree
And lay pink spotted brown eggs of one to three
Quite distinctive from all other birds in their way
In most forested regions of south eastern Australia they are seen every day
Their common name comes from their familiar song
Once seen and once heard one can never again get them wrong.
