Noise On The Roof
After hearing a noise on their roof, an online user shared this. Although some people mistake this bird for a magpie, it appears to be a currawong. Currawongs have a single colored beak with a curled tip, but magpies have sharper beaks with white coloration. Eastern Australia is home to currawongs. Australia is home to three species of medium-sized passerine birds from the genus Strepera, which belongs to the Artamidae family. Grey currawongs, pied currawongs, and black currawongs are the three types of currawongs. The common onomatopoeic name is derived from the cry of the common pied currawong of eastern Australia.
Seagull Attempts To Help His Mate
A seagull tries to save a fellow seagull who has been grabbed by a bald eagle in this stunning shot. Bald eagles, weighing up to 17 pounds, are formidable hunters and eaters. A fun tidbit to know is that bald eagle nests may weigh up to 2000 pounds! The physique of a seagull is sturdy, with extended legs and webbed feet. The beak is somewhat hooked, and the color is generally yellow. Seagulls are a few creatures that can drink both salt and fresh water. They have unique glands (placed above the eyes) that rid the body of excess salt.
