What could be more Australian than the magpie kids playing and swinging from the Hills Hoist. They know a good time when they see it.

I have now seen a very intelligent bird do a face-plant. I can die happy. Thank you, internet.

Animals doing something for no other reason than it's fun. Very cool.

They're very young magpies, probably their first year out of the nest. You can tell by the colour of their feathers. If they still have those grey coloured feathers on their chest and back, they are adolescent. Hence the 'piss-farting' around, as opposed to hunting and providing for the family. LOL!

Lol, I've seen mum and dad feeding, talking to each other then suddenly have a "domestic", then go back to being love bugs! Hilarious.

One of the most amazing things ever to happen to me was when a magpie , one of a group i regularly fed , landed within 3 meters from me and proceeded to give me a rendition of what must have been every call , every noise it could make , what blew me away was that it was just loud enough for me to hear and none else , to this day i do not know why i didn`t pull the phone out and record it , probably as i was so astounded and shocked at the diversity this bird displayed just for me

Yes. I had a Male maggie who used to sit in the tree near my gate at my old rental unit and he would sing and mimick Masked Lapwings, Mudlarks, Kookaburras, Willie Wagtails and Currawongs............god knows why?

So very funny. They are such characters.

All my magpie friends like hanging upside down from the washing. Seems to be a universal silly, adorable magpie trait. I’ve got a photo of one my baby mags hanging upside down from my bra on the washing line. Sooo funny😂

How FUNNY!! I saw a magpie today hanging upside down from a tree branch, so I Googled to see if that's just them being silly, and here's your video. Loved it! By the way, I'm in British Columbia in Canada, and there are tons here! I just moved here from eastern Canada where magpies are nowhere to be seen, so I'm just loving my new outdoor birds. I could watch them all day. :D

I believe the Magpies have seen the Grey fruit bats of Victoria hanging upside down in trees and they are imitating them...........Maggies mimick other birds verbally so why not physically as well?

The other birds are funny ... they look like they're saying, "Hey get down, it's _my_ turn!"

Nature can provide some fantastic entertainment naturally and we have to do is sit back and enjoy the moment.

No need to iron when the Magpies are so good at stretching out the laundry!

My favourite bird song and characters in the bird world.😊

Looks like they are having a really good time. Awesome, beautiful birds. So clever too.

These guys are so funny. It's relaxing to watch them.

Hilarious yet beautiful to see the magic they bring. Thank you

Fun-loving birds!

I'm blessed to have a whole yard full of hilarious pigeons and great tail Grackles (they're corvids and close relatives to magpies) but I have never in my life seen anything even close to these characters. This is Moe, Larry, and Curly, reincarnated with wings and feathers.

Aussie magpies are passerines not corvids it's a common mistake I think the English saw a similar looking bird and just named it a magpie.

"Get down from there, Hank. You're making us look like fools...!"

The Magpie hanging upside down off the towel is quite a character - he / she loves a Bat style, upside down workout.

While watching this I was reminded of a thing we'd do as kids that would give us head-spins to the point of nearly or actually passing out. Hanging upside-down has a similar effect on the brain. My theory is one of the young ones (no pun referencing that series) figured out how to get high by hanging upside-down. You can see how disoriented bird is when it finally loses its grip. That's pretty cool. Kids do what kids do.

Baby magpies are so fun to watch!

These are juveniles, so like all kids, love to play. Love them, i have heaps come into my yard every day.

About twenty years ago I was out of the country for five years, I didn't miss the football, or the food, or the coffee, I sure as hell didn't miss John Howard and I didn't even miss the weather all that much, what I really missed was the warble of magpies, the one that says, "Everything's okay, no stress". I had no idea how deep that sound reached into me, how healing it is.

@@HackedUpForBarbeque The vet. said to feed them soaked cat kibble as it has more nutrients, is better value & they love it. In bowl with a lid, you place 1/3 kibble & 2/3 cold water & leave a bit of room before putting the lid on to allow for expansion. It takes 2-3 hours or so to soften. Too much water will make it mushy. My maggies would line up across the back fence & I threw it to them & they would catch it. When they became more trusting they would take it from my hand & hang around each day waiting for their snacks.

Hey..,new babies coming soon here in Australia

The one in the middle of the video is trying to do acrobation, meditation and eating at the same time. 🤣🤣🤪

hanging clothes are a great attraction for them ... thus scarecrows in the fields are useless to them

Hilarious! They feel so disturbed by someone being "different "...just like people 😁

Heel grappig! 😂😂 ik houd van eksters en kraaien. Ze zijn zo intelligent en mooi!!
