All corvids are humorless vengeful beasts.
Both families coexist around Australia. I’m really curious of how they do it. I imagine they have some kind of unstable feud.

Agreed on the parrots but a lot of corvids I’ve encountered were absolute trolls as well. Very intentional and calculating, they clearly had fun antagonizing other animals. Don’t get me wrong, they’re assholes. But they’re funny assholes.
Maybe European corvids aren’t like Australian ones. I’ve heard stories about your magpies.

Unlike yours, our magpies aren’t corvids. Our only native corvids are a couple of species of ravens and crows.

The british colonies all share the same trait of having animals that are named after superficially similar European animals. It’s like how the American Robin and the European Robin are two completely different birds that just look sorta similar.

Oh, I didn’t know that, what are they most closely related to then?

Other Artamidae like butcherbirds and currawongs
